Hello dear XXXX
Understand your concern
You can take the primolut N for postpone the period.
It contain low progesterone. It is prescribed drug and should be taken under the advice of OBGYN specialist.

Start tablet from today and continue till you want to delay the periods.
Once you stop the pill, period will come in next 2-3 days.

If you are already pregnant, then your period will not come after stopping the drug.
It does not affect the pregnancy as it contain very low dose of progesterone.
