Brief Answer:
Investigation required.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are so many reasons for irregular periods at your age.

So in my opinion you should first get your investigations done and rule out the cause of your irregular period.

So first you should consult a Gynaecologist and get yourself examined and investigation done to rule out the causes like blood test( anaemia and blood disorders), thyroid profile ( thyroid disorder), hormonal profile( hormonal imbalanc, ultrasound scan(PCOS, fibroid, polyp).

As you are already taking treatment, it will regulate your period in 2-3 months.

Hope it is useful.

i was getting my periods before i took the tablets. but now its been two months since i got my periods. doctor scanned and took blood report and told me that i am in the starting stage of thyroid. she also told me that i would get my periods regularly once i finish taking up the course. but now that i am not getting the periods for past two months i am worried on what is happening inside.

Brief Answer:
It is due to side effect of drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for the delay in my response.

In my opinion your period maybe delayed due to the side effect of novex-ds.

Novex-dx contains ormiloxifene a estrogen receptor modulator drug and mainly uses in a case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding( DUB).

It is mainly estrogen based drug, so your period may be delayed due to it.

So please consult your doctor for the same and take progesterone for withdrawal bleeding.

Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.

Regards
