Norethisterone is a synthetic progestogen. It's used to control bleeding and prevent a period. When the amount in your system starts to fall (when you stop taking it) you would have a period about 2-3 days later.

Because you forgot to take it for 2 days, you are now getting some bleeding.

You should keep taking it for the rest of the 20 days. If you are worried call your GP.
