Brief Answer:
You can start taking it now.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Regestrone takes at least 3 days to show an effect. Now that you left taking regesterone from 19th, the bleeding is expected. If you start taking regestrone thrice a day now then it can stop the bleeding by 27th and then the bleeding will restart after you stop taking regestrone.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
