Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern....
No prolonged take of primolut 5mg is not advised. Primolut contains 5 mg noresthisterone which is advised for delaying period by 3-7 days only.
You could take combined contraceptive pill like femilon starting from 1st day of menstrual bleeding. They should be taken once daily at about same time of day.till you want your period.
Your next menstrual period would start approximately 7 days after stopping of combined contraceptive pill.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
