Hi, Primolut-N (norethisterone) contains the hormone progesterone which prevents the womb lining from shedding and hence commonly prescribed in the treatment of menstrual disorders such as irregular or painful menstrual periods. Please bear in mind that Primal is not a contraceptive, and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy. It can also be used to postpone or advance the period. After you stop taking Primal, your period is likely to start after two or three days; however, the timescale may be different for every individual. I advise you to wait for five to seven days for your monthly bleed to occur. Then consult your treating bog after getting a home pregnancy test done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
