Brief Answer:
Tab. Norethisterone to be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is a very usual problem.
Take Tablet norethisterone 10 mg at night for 5 days and you will get your periods in 2-3 days after leaving the tablets.
So you will be free by 14 th July.
Wish you all the best for your new life.
Take care.
