Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Primolut-N (norethisterone 5 mg) pills should be taken to get your periods.

But before giving complete regimen,I would like to ask,

What is your expected date of menses?
Do you want to prepone your periods?

Kindly get back to me with this more information.

Awaiting your response.

Thank you for your reply. Last month I ovulated twice. First on 16oct which lasted for 5 days. I ovulated again on 25th oct which never happened till date. Though I used pill after having unprotective sex but I'm bit scared. I'm confused whether I will get my mensus on 16 Nov or 25 Nov. It's 23 Nov and I have not got my periods yet. So I want to get my periods to avoid pregnancy.

Hello,
Thanks for the quick response.

I have read your question carefully.

So,you are expecting your menses on 16th or 25th but before discussing further.Here,let me know,

Which pill you used after having unprotected sex.

When or which dates, you had a unprotected sex?

Are you having regular menstrual cycle? and if yes then how many days usually?

For how many days your second menses last, after 25th?

Kindly answer my questions and I will guide you after that.

Yes I always have a regular Mensus. Last month it was the first time I ovulated twice. I used postpone-72 emergency pill. My mensus lasted for 5 days after 25oct. I had unprotevtive sex around 2-5 Nov. I have bit of white discharge and on and off lower abdominal pain. What are the chances of me getting pregnant??? I want to get my periods as early as possible because I don't want unplanned pregnancy. If I take the tab which you prescribed, after how many hours will I get periods???

Brief Answer:
Wait and watch for your periods to come.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for sharing more information.

I have read your query and understand the concern.

Considering your last menstruation period from 25th Oct to 29th Oct,when you had a unprotected sex (between 2nd to 5th November as stated by you) you were in safe (non-fertile) period so there is almost no chance of pregnancy during that time.

You also used 'post-pone 72' pills as emergency contraceptive,most probably after your unprotected sex (but you have not mentioned particular date of taking those pills here) which also makes you safer.

Your white discharge or 'on-off' lower abdominal pain could be due to side effect of this pills so, no need to worry about it.

Finally,your chances of pregnancy is almost none here because of the reason of using pills and unprotected sex in non-fertile period.

Since you had a regular cycle,so you should wait for couple of more days (up to 26th) for your periods to occur.Your periods might get delayed due to using this post-pone 72 pills because of hormonal imbalance.

However,you can have Urine Pregnancy Test at home to be in safer side.

At present,you should wait and watch for your periods to come,there is no need to take any medicines at present.

Dr.Sandip Kabra
