Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Regesterone (norethisterone) is a pill that is taken to delay periods and you have been doing the right thing by taking it twice daily. It should be started 3 days before expected onset and continued until you desire to have it, which should be anywhere about a week or 10 days.
The white discharge is not an indicator of periods if you have been taking the medication regularly. It is a vaginal discharge due to altered hormones and will stop after you discontinue your medication.
Hope this helps
