What Causes Delayed Periods?

I have regular periods after every 26 - 27 days. In the last cycle i took Letrozole and now my periods are 13 days late and a pg test at the doctors gave me a negative result on the 5th day after expected periods. Now the doctor wants to give me a drug to induce my periods. Should I take it and what is happening?

Hi I think if your pregnancy test is negative, you can wait for one more week and repeat the test. If again negative, you can take some medicines for inducing periods. I think you are taking drugs for inducing ovulation. Track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when follicle is more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupture of follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 days. Take some progesterone for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound. Do a urine pregnancy test after that. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.
