What Causes Delayed Menstruation After Taking I-pill And Regestrone?

default
Posted on Tue, 4 Aug 2015
Question: Hi,
I've consumed regestrone 5mg daily at night for 10 days to postpone my periods. My due date for period was 6th July, and I started taking regestrone tablet from 3rd July. And I have also taken an I - pill to avoid pregnancy after unprotected sex during the time of having regestrone tablet. Now I am slightly worried as it’s been six days I have not got my periods still. And I’m having white discharge as well.
kindly tell me what to do now and when is my period expected.

Brief Answer:
Delayed due to hormonal imbalance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
You should not be worried about your delayed menses because it is delayed due to hormonal imbalance caused by registerone and I - pill.
Usually period resume within a week after stopping regesterone tablet but in your case as you have I-pill also it may delayed by 7-14 days.
But to be safer side you should take your home urine pregnancy test after 7 days of your missed period date.
Hope found useful, feel free ask more questions.
Good luck.

thank you so much doctor. i was quite worried.

So, should i take that test now, or should I wait for one more week, to see if period resumes, as you said it may take 7-14 days to resume period ; as I have taken I-Pill.
