Brief Answer:
Its not a birth control pill, so pregnancy may occur

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,

You have to understand that PRIMOLUT-N is a high dose progesterone and its contraceptive effectiveness starts only when it has been started from day 2 of cycle and then daily for next 7 days as progesterone only pills. But if used just for 2 days mid cycle , then it will not prevent any pregnancy but would rather support pregnancy if you happen to get pregnant post ejaculation after intercourse.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If your intention is to stop menses and delay it then you have to continue primolut-n twice a day daily till you wish to delay it. Though you have started late, where it should have been started by day 22 of your cycle to postpone menses, because you may experience spotting and irregular bleeding now inspite of taking the pill.
