Can Norethisterone Be Taken To Postpone Menstrual Bleeding?

Question: Hi doctor, I am mother of 10 months baby and I do breast feeding. Due to some unavoidable situations, I want to make sure that I don't get my mensuration cycle in coming 4 days - I am planning to take Primolut-N tablet (norethisterone - 5mg + excipients-0.5mg) twice a day as per medical shop suggestion. But as I mentioned I do breast feeding, is it fine having this tablet & having twice a day.
