Brief Answer:
Wait for 3-5 days

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, welcome to Health Care Magic Forum.
Thanks for writing in to us with your health query.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Irregularity of periods after discontinuing oral contraceptives is a common and known phenomenon .

I'll advice you to wait for 3-5 days for periods . There are no proven natural remedies to get periods.

If it is worrisome to you then I will advise you medicines . These medicines have very low side effects so you need not worry but my first advise will be to wait for 3-5 days.

I hope you find the answer helpful.
Regards

Tablet norethisterone

Detailed Answer:
I usually give tablet morethisterone 3 times a day for 3 days bin dose of 5 mg each but since it is a prescription drug you will need to visit your gynaecologist for the same.
