Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the Primolute N and Ovral are not meant for simultaneous intake as the indications are different and mechanisms over lap for the hormone axis, may cause side effects as well. The Primolut-N is concerned to control heavy bleeding, and used for a period of 3 - 7 days depending upon the clinical severity. Once the heavy bleeding is controlled, you get a withdrawal bleed of lesser quantity within a period of 5-7 days of last pill intake of Primolut-N.
It is the Ovral, which comes into action once the heavy menses have controlled; to get back to previously normal rhythm of flow and to be started from the fifth day of menstrual cycle for a period of 21 days, followed by 7 days of placebo or iron pills. Usually Ovral is continued for a period of 4-6 months as per the clinical need.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
