Take as prescribed: Primolut n is a progesterone. The purpose of taking it is to induce a period. Sounds like it is working.

Up to you: There is a common misconception that taking Progesterone will "fix" irregular periods. It does not. Progesterone will trigger a menstrual cycle when you stop it but that effect does not last beyond the month that you are taking it.
