Brief Answer:
Wait for 3-4 days for your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

Primolut- n containing norethisterone in it which is progesterone, you are feeling weight gain due to side effect of a drug.

As such when you discontinue the medicine period, usually resume in 2-3 days, but sometimes it may take time.

Await for your period for 3-4 days more and there is no need to worry.

If it will not resume in 3-4 days, then you should consult your treating doctor.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
