Brief Answer:
You can take progesterone for withdrawal bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.

I can understand your concern here.

As such in my opinion iron deficiency does not stop your period but yes iron deficiency can occur due to heavy menses.

I think you should rule out other causes of delayed menses.

You can take progesterone ( primolut- n) to initiate your menses after your doctor consultation.

Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.

Should i go for another consultation with any other Doctor or i can go ahead of using Primolut-n ?

Hi,

Nice to hear from you once again.

Actually primolut-n is a prescription drug so you should consult a gynaecologist for the same.
