Brief Answer:
Wait for another 3 days to decide further course of action
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
Period Resumption can take as long as 7 to 10 days in few cases after discontinuation of Regesterone.
It would be wise to have a urine preg/hcg test in case if you participated in a sexual act during this course.
Hence you can wait for another 3 days to see if perods resume.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
