Not uncommon: as you know, norethisone is a progestational agent that works temporarily to stop heavy bleeding in many cases BUT almost always causes some withdrawal bleeding after stopping (often explained as 'you will get your period'. If it continues beyond 4-5 days, you should definitely consult whoever prescribed the treatment. Also check out this subject on the internet...lots of consumer chat .

See GYN: You may have a female hormone issue, GYN illness or thyroid issues. You will need a pelvic exam and ultrasound as well as routine blood testing for anemia.
