Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Taking meprate for 5 days will help you in having a withdrawal bleeding after stopping the tablet. This will help in re programming your cycles. Then from next cycle you will need to take meprate for last 10 days so that you have a regular bleeding pattern. By that time your gynecologist will do all the hormonal tests and ultrasound scan to find out the exact pathology.
This will help in bringing your periods once.
Hope my answer is helpful.
