Hallow dear,

You have taken the right step. Though Primolut N is not prescribed usually as emergency contraceptive pill, it contains norethisterone which is a progesterone.

Some of the usual emergency or post-coital contraceptive pills like Postinor 2 also contain progesterone group of medicines.

These pills should give you protection against the pregnancy. May be due to the withdrawal of this medicine, you will; get early withdrawal bleeding for which you need not worry.

However, if you miss the period, wait for 8-10 days before performing urine pregnancy test and/or ultrasonography to confirm the pregnancy as these tests are not conclusive before that.

Hence forward, please switch over to regular birth control pills instead of relying on the emergency contraceptive pills.

I hope I have made your doubts clear.
