Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Usually menstrual cycle will have two phases, first one proliferate phase which is mainly influenced by estrogen and second one secretory phase here predominate hormone is progesterone.
At the end of the cycle both the hormones will fall and lead to menstruation.
Sometimes there could be hormonal imbalance leading to irregular periods.
Progesterone deficiency is one of the factors which can delay periods.
So your doctor kept you on naturogest which is a natural micronised progesterone.
After completing the tablets as prescribed, when you stop the levels of progesterone will fall and you will get withdrawal bleeding.
Sometimes it may take around 5 days after completion of tablets to get withdrawal bleeding.
Possibly from next cycle onwards you will get regular periods. If not better to get evaluated for the cause of irregular cycles and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
