Hi,
I can understand your concern, but I desire to ask a few questions from you.
For how many days before your expected period date you had started the tablet?
You had pills twice daily or once in a day?
If you want to postpone your period why you give up taking the drug after 3 days?
Please check and revert back to me.
Hope to hear soon from you.
Good luck.
