Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.
Since you are a lactating mother fluctuations in menstrual dates are common.

I would suggest Primolute N (Norethisterone 5mg) to postpone your periods.
Since you are feeding baby during nights I would suggest you start this tablet five days in the morning before the expected periods.

It's best to take the tablet at the same time every day. You can take this as long as you want to post pone periods but not longer than 10 days. Take these medication with your local doctor prescription.

It may cause side effects like nausea, bloating, headache these are minor side effects. If you get side effects you can stop this medication. These side effects will disappear shortly after stopping the medication.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.

Thank you.
