Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX.....
Welcome to health care magic the tablet Primolut N is a supplement progesterone hormone that is the kind of female sex hormone. As such it doesn't help in pregnancy nor does it help in maintaining the pregnancy.
You can ovulate in between cycles in normal way.
The main use of Primolut N is to contro the excessive blood loss in the menses and postpone menses for 7-10days when required.
The drug does not have any longterm effects
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
