Hello,

Norethisterone pill should be taken 5 mg twice/ thrice daily 3 days prior to due date and continue as long as you want to delay your period (max 2 weeks). You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days of stopping pills.

Kindly, consult with your doctor regarding this and procure complete prescription with dose.
