Hello,

Normally, withdrawal bleeding should happen within 3–7 days after stopping. If you do not have withdrawal bleeding, restarting without confirming whether you are pregnant is not safe. If there is even a small chance of pregnancy, norethisterone can affect it. So , you are advised to take a home pregnancy test. You can restart after pregnancy is excluded and if your health allows. Get clinically examined by a gynecologist before restarting.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
