Hello
Thanks for your query.
Patients with PCOS often have delayed cycles and scanty bleeding.
Normally, Primolut - N should be taken for 5 days, as proper progesterone effect is established only after taking it for 5 days.
Many doctors prescribe it for 3 days also.
After stopping the drug, you normally experience hormonal withdrawal effect.
this means that after stopping medication, you normally experience withdrawal bleeding within 2 - 3 days, but definitely maximum within one week.
So wait for that time period, and then consult your doctor if you do not have periods by then.
take care
