Brief Answer:
withdrawal bleed...explained.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
The periods tend to get delayed in cases of excessive physical stresses like rigorous slimming programmes like the one you are in . So if your periods have been delayed by 20 days now and if pregnancy is ruled out , then DEVIRY 10mg should be taken twice a day for 5 days minimum to cause a withdrawal bleed within 7 days from the last day of the DEVIRY PILL.
So, you should take it for 5 days 10mg twice a day. Continue for another 3 days.
