Posted on Mon, 16 May 2016

Question: Hi,
I have taken Marvelon 4+4 pills on 1st March in a gap of 12 hours..I'm yet to get my periods even after 10 days. Is it normal? How many more days should I wait?

Delay for 2-3 weeks

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
These pills have the side effect of delaying the next expected periods by2-3 weeks.
I will suggest you to wait for 10 days more for the periods to occur.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

my period was due today. So is it okay if I don't get withdrawal bleeding. I'm so tensed, we already have a son who is 3 years and are not looking for the other one currently due to various reasons. do you have access to my earlier queries?

Brief Answer:
Get a urine pregnancy test done

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
you can get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy.
However, there are almost 100% chances that the periods aredelayed due to hormonal pills.

Can I take it tomorrow, or wait for a week..the earlier doctor had told that there will be withdrawal bleeding in between 5-7 days, I have not had any. is it normal? I live in KSA and can't get proper guidance, hence too many questions sorry!
