Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
You basically have slightly irregular periods.
So start from this month itself.
Take tablet norethisterone 5 mg thrice a day for three days from 28th march to 30th march and you will get your periods by 5 the April maximum.
And then take same tablet from 25-27th April and this you will get free in time.

Brief Answer:
safe drug
Detailed Answer:
Thanks and I appreciate your health concerns.
Norethisterone is a safe tablet and can be prescribed for menstrual regulation in case of need.
It has no long term side effects if used in prescribed doses.
In some patients it can cause slight nausea and breast ache or mood swings but all these are very transient and seen in less than ten percent of patients.
It is basically a progesterone and it is needed for the support of endometrial lining of the uterus.
So when it is withdrawn the support is gone so causes breakdown of the lining (like in normal periods) and thus menstruation happens in 2-5 days after stopping the drug.
So you can take it as advised without any anxiety.
Take care.
