Question : I asked this question already but would like a second opinion Please.

I took primulot to prepone period by 4 days due to religious reasons. ( i took it from day 15 of my cycle for 6 days). However withdrawal bleeding took place 7 days later, which was about the time that my normal cycle would have occurred.

My question is when am I likely to get next period. My main religious days are from the 3rd to 7th October and i want to be period free.

As far as possible I want to avoid taking any meds due to side Effects. Will my next period be 28 days after I started withdrawal bleeding which co incided with my normal cycle.

Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Your next period will be due on the same days as it would have had in case hadn't had primolut at all i.e. 28 days from the start of withdrawl bleeding.
In case your expected date falls between 3rd-7th october then take the tablet primolut-N 10 mg daily from 3 days prior to your expected start of periods till you want to delay your periods.
I hope I have explained my regimen properly but in case you have any other query I will be happy to help.
