Breakthrough spotting is a very common side effect when starting Regestrone (norethisterone) so close to your expected period, as the uterine lining may have already begun to shed. Continuing the medication daily as prescribed can help stabilize the lining and may reduce or stop the spotting, allowing you to delay your period for the next five days. However, the spotting might persist lightly until you stop the medication. Once you stop taking it, your normal period should arrive within a few days. I highly recommend consulting your doctor.
