Brief Answer:
You should first go for home urine pregnancy test.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
Foremost, you should go for a home urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy (if you are sexually active).
If pregnancy test results are negative you can take norethisterone (progesterone) pills for withdrawal bleeding (in oestrogen primed endometrium) after consulting your physician.
Femilon containing estrogen and progesterone, both the hormone, so side effects are more with femilon in comparison to norethisterone. You can use femilon as a contraceptive pill for 21 days.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
Good luck.
