General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Primolut N contain progesterone and help in inducing the period. But postponement of the period is more successful than prepone the period. Generally induced bleeding can occur 5 to 7 days after stopping the pill. So wait for the period to come, it will come in next 3 to 4 days.

You have taken high dose. It should be taken twice daily rather than thrice daily. If period does not come then consult the gynecologist. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar
