Brief Answer: Hormonal imbalance Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX You are suffering some kind of hormonal imbalance. Thats the reason the period is delayed. First, since pregnancy has been ruled out, you are a months delayed.You had your last cycle in november and missed it in december. There can be many hormonal reasons for this. Since your history is more or less regular, im assuming its a one time problem. Your doctor must have given you progestrone hormone for 5 days. Take it. After stopping the medicine, you should get your period within 2 weeks. Your endometrial lining is thickened since you havent bled. If you dont have your period after 2 weeks, then furthur hormone blood tests will need to be done. Dont panic yet. I think the medicine will work since you dont have any long standing history. With regular cycles again, you should have no problems with pregnancy. Otherwise, the problem has to be identified and treated.
