Hi,
Thanks for writing..

Usually after taking meprate for 5 days you will get periods in a week's time..

If still you dont get periods, get a pregnancy test with early morning urine sample.. If negative, get a scan done to see for endometrial thickness. if thickness is greater than 8mm, it will bleed with meprate.. Otherwise you will have to take a course of OCP's to build up the endometrium..

Do you get periods correctly always? Did you take any pills this month?

Stress, climatic changes can also cause change in periods..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts..Good day..
