Brief Answer:
Continue with Regesterone.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since the periods have already started, you can continue taking regesterone. The spotting will stop in next 2-3 days. Do continue taking Regesterone thrice a day till 21st and then stop taking it. You will have withdrawal bleeding after 2-3 days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
