Brief Answer:
Norethisterone advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health issue and anxiety about it.
Take tablet norethisterone 5 mg twice a day for 5 days and on stopping the same you will get periods in 3-5 days.
It is common to have irregular periods for 3 months after I pill intake.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha Jain
