I've just started taking Primolut N 5 mg twice a day to delay my period, but it still began today. I'm not sure if I should keep taking the pills or stop. Is there any chance that my period might stop if I continue with them? And if I decide to quit, what happens with the two pills I've already taken? I'm really confused about what to do next.

Since your period has already started, its likely best to stop taking the Primolut-N. The tablets youve already taken may have a mild effect on the flow and duration, but they wont stop your period now. If you continue to have concerns or if you experience abnormal bleeding, its important to check with your doctor for personalized advice.

I've been using Primolut N to push back my period a bit, but I'm having this light blood-like discharge. My periods aren't normal right now. Should I keep taking it? My doc told me to take two pills a day but seemed unsure since I started them a bit late. Can anyone give me a clear idea of what I should do next, maybe with a solution?
