Hi and thank you so much for this query

Taking for ten days and stopping would not provoke your menses to flow. It would rather mess up the protection you are expected to get from this contraception. If you are already on this drug, simply discard the last 7pills after day 21 and start a new pack. This way, you know your menses would not return. If you are not already on it, you may rather consider primolut-N starting 3days before the expected date on menses and stop when you no longer need to postpone your menses.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
