On Breast Feed And Got Delayed Period. Took Regulin Forte. Any Medicine To Get Period?
Question: I've got delayed periods by 17 days this month. I've had regulin forte as well but to no avail. I'm on breast feeding also. Suggest a medicine for getting periods.
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
During breast feeding some amount of disturbance in the menstrual cycle is common.
Some women may have amenorrhea throughout the period of breast feeding.
If there is any possibility of pregnancy better to rule out that first.
You go for urine or blood test for pregnancy to rule out the possibility.
If the test comes negative, you can take progesterone tablets like medroxyprogesterone or regesterone to induce withdrawal bleeding.
But before using the tablets better to consult gynecologist once.

can i take this medicine and go to office as per normal routine? wont this cause heavy bleeding?
Hi,
Yes, you can go to office as usual. Generally it will not cause heavy bleeding, but better to keep some additional sanitary pads.
Some women may have few side effects like nausea, bloating sensation of the abdomen etc.
These can be tackled by taking the tablets after food, using antacids-anti-emetics etc.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
