General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Primolut N can be used to prepone menses. When taken in a high dose for few consecutive days, it induces withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days of stopping the pill.

You had taken pill on 28th and 29th of March and wish for bleeding on 29th or 30th. The dose you had taken is also small, it may not produce withdrawal at the desired date.

Now, I would advise to continue pills twice a day till 8th of April. Your function will be done on 8th & you will get withdrawal between 13 to 16th of April.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
