Hallow Dear,
Norlut is Norethindrone. It is a Progestational preparation. Progesterone if taken earlier than 7 days of expected menses may delay menses for few days.
However, you have consumed Norlut on 2nd January 2016. Your periods were due on or around 3rd January 2016. So Progestational preparation taken just a day or two earlier than expected menses should not delay the menses. Moreover, if at all it delays, usually within 4-7 days after discontinuing the pills, the menses appear.
If even till today you have not got the menses, it is quite late. In fact no withdrawal bleeding after Progestational preparation suggests the possibility of pregnancy.
Please get your overnight early morning urine examined for pregnancy test. By this time, it should give you reliable results. Else you can go for Beta hCG test or ultrasonography. Any of these tests can give you reliable results after so may days after missed period.
I hope this helps you.
