Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The medication what you have been prescribed is for both postponement of periods as well as induction of periods when it is delayed.
After taking it for the prescribed duration, the periods should start as breakthrough bleeding in about a week to ten days time.
In case there is further delay, you need to be examined and investigated for the cause and then treated accordingly. Kindly consult your doctor if such a thing happens.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
