How Long After Taking Noresthisterone Will Bleeding Resume?

Hi, I took Norethisterone for 4-5 days last week before stopping on Sunday (meaning I had no pills that day). I have not yet started my period even though it has been three days since I last took a tablet. I then took one tablet 40 minutes ago out of desperation because I want my period to start today or not start at all until next Monday without taking Norethisterone again, but I panicked and induced vomiting. Will my period come soon? Please help me, I am desperate.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Norethisterone medication is used generally for postponement of menstrual periods. Periods should ideally begin by 3 to 5 days after stopping the tablet. However, sometimes, it can be delayed by a week.
Kindly wait for a couple of days to get your periods.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
