Brief Answer:
one week

Detailed Answer:
Hello

If you have taken this medicine you will get periods. You need to wait for another one week.

If you don't get periods by then you can take another course of same tablets along with estrogen tablets.

Brief Answer:
Delayed periods

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Sometimes it is possible that periods are delayed due to

1. Stress either short or long term.

2. Change of place.

3. Change in food habits

4. Recent lifestyle changes.

5. Any of these events generally lead to delayed periods in spite taking deviry.

6. If you still suspect pregnancy please get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy. This test is more accurate than home pregnancy test.
