Brief Answer:
Regestrone used for hormonal imbalances

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
You had intercourse on day 14 of your cycle, which is considered as the most fertile period.
However, if there was no ejaculation, then there are no chances of pregnancy.
Regestrone is norethisterone which is given for hormonal imbalance and withdrawal bleeding, however it is not a contraceptive.
Therefore, it will not induce periods if the pregnancy is established.
I will suggest you to wait for the periods for 7-8 days of stopping the tablet.
If till then, there are no periods, then I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
