Brief Answer:
Chances of pregnancy are low.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Regestrone 5mg tablet is a progestin (female hormones). It works as part of hormone replacement therapy by replacing the amount of oestrogen in the uterus. It works to bring on menstruation by replacing the natural progesterone that some women are missing.
Chances of pregnancy are low. Delay in period is due to hormonal effects of regestrone .If you take it only for five days than it will not affect your baby.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
