Norethisterone ..... Spotting

We have started our next round of ivf after a first failed attempt less than a year ago. I have been given norethisterome to take 3 times a day but today I have started to spot. I was expecting spotting after but not this early on. I still have another 7 days of the medication to take. Is spotting normal during.. Has anyone else spotted during... Just worried this might cancel my treatment.

Hi Isleview. By now you will be at the end of your treatment with norethisterone. Unfortunately, spotting is a common side effect of the drug. I hope that you are now progressing through your treatment and all goes well. Diane
