Wait until 5–7 days after stopping Primolut N If you do not get you period do urine pregnancy test i would suggest . Delayed withdrawal bleeding is normal after taking primolut N
Primolut-N can delay periods even after stopping, and it may take up to a week or more for bleeding to start. If you had unprotected sex on 25th August, there is a small pregnancy risk depending on your cycle timing. To be sure, do a blood pregnancy test (β-hCG) or a home urine test after 14 days from the last sexual contact; also consult a Gynecologist if periods don’t start.
Hello dear See the medication you have mentioned is given for either delaying period or treatment of certain conditions like endometriosis I think the periods are delayed due to this medication effect only and you are not pregnant. However for confirmation please get following tests done and share results with gynacolologist in person for better clarification Serum prolactin Serum progesterone Serum estrogen Serum TSH Pelvic USG Urine analysis Pregnancy strip test Kindly proceed as per confirmation from concerned doctor only Regards
Most likely, your periods are just delayed due to Primolut-N withdrawal. But since you had sex on the last day, pregnancy is possible. Please do a urine pregnancy test if no period by 4–5 Sept.
Thank you.
Primolut N, containing norethisterone, is commonly used to delay menstruation, and one of its effects can be delay of your period even after stopping the medication. While it is possible that the hormonal changes from Primolut N are contributing to the delay, it’s important to consider the possibility of pregnancy, especially since you were sexually active around that time.
First, you should take a home pregnancy test to determine if pregnancy is the cause. These tests are generally reliable around the time of a missed period. If the test is negative, it could be that your body is just taking a little longer to regulate after the course of Primolut N. Periods can sometimes take up to a week or two to return to normal after stopping the medication.
However, if your period doesn’t start within a week after a negative pregnancy test, another test would be advisable to rule out pregnancy conclusively. Also, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss these symptoms and this delay, especially if you have been experiencing any unusual symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or discomfort. They may recommend a more thorough evaluation to rule out other potential causes like hormonal imbalances or other health concerns.
Articulate behaviors and factors such as stress, changes in weight, lifestyle changes or other medications you might be taking, as they can also influence your menstrual cycle. In cases where self-diagnosis isn’t clear, a healthcare provider can offer more specific guidance based on a full clinical picture. If pregnancy is not desired and you’re concerned about future occurrences, discussing contraceptive options might be a wise next step to ensure more predictable control over your cycle.
