Question: hi doctor,
I have been ttc for the last one month. my gynae prescribed folvite and duphaston from 16th to 25th day of the cycle. last cycle, I took duphaston as prescribed and got my periods on the 4th day of completing the dose. this cycle, I completed the dose on 30th of October but till now no periods. however, I have sore nipples and took a pregnancy test today which came negative. I am very tensed. If I'm not pregnant, what could be the cause of delay? how long should I wait? I am very tensed, plz suggest.

Brief Answer:
Wait for 7 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After taking Duphaston the bleeding can be delayed by upto a week. It is best to wait till 7th Oct and in case the periods still do not start then do a pregnancy test again to check if you are pregnant.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
