Hi,
You can stop the drug if you have completed the two week course of norethisterone. I would suggest you to wait for 5 to 7 days for withdrawal bleeding to occur. You can wait for a maximum of 10 days for your periods to occur.
In case of absent bleeding even after 10 days,I would suggest you to visit your gynaecologist to rule out any hormonal imbalance and also consider restarting the drug again.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
