IUCD In Place. Can Primolut N Be Taken To Postpone Periods For A Month?

Hi, I had my LMP on 17th May and in June they might commence around 13-14th. but I want to postpone them till 22 June. One GP y'day prescribed me Primolut- N 5 mg twice daily for one month. I would like to know is it safe to use for one month because i read on internet one should start taking pills 3-4 days before commencing of menses. Also I have IUCD in place. I have already taken two doses. I am worried now. Kindly advise.
