When Do Periods Start After Taking Primulot?

default
Posted on Tue, 7 Oct 2014
Question: I took primulot on the 15th day of my cycle to induce my period due To a religious Journey I'm about to take. However I only just got my period which is 7 days later. (I expected it to be 2 to 3 days later). I am going on this journey Tomorrow. The most significant days will be from the 3rd to 7th October and i would not like to have my period during that time.

When is my next cycle likely to start? Am I at risk of having a breakthrough bleed during this time. If so should I use primulot again
And when should I start

start on primolut on day21 from today

Detailed Answer:
hello XXXX
thanks for contacting HCM.

It is nice to see that your menses have started and you have just got your period. now your programme for pilgrimage can be regularized and planned.

looking at your significant days 3 -7th October. , you can start Primolut N ( if you are comfortable with it ) from day 21 onwards , and continue till your trip is over . it should be 5mg thrice a day daily and you should not miss your pills at all.
then following stoppage of pills , your period should resume within 7 days after stoppage of pills.

start on 21 st day from today if your period has started today.
regards,
