Brief Answer:
Need investigations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you are not having any periods even 2 weeks after finishing a PrimolutN therapy for 7 days, then the following causes need to be ruled out :-
1. Pregnancy - urine test or blood Hcg levels will help in diagnosing this.
2.Thyroid hormone deficiency- A simple blood test will help in excluding hypothyroidism.
3. PCOD.
4. Severe anemia- Get your hemoglobin levels checked.
You need a thorough evaluation by a Gynecologist as there are various causes for this delay in periods and they can be ruled out only after a Physical Examination and detailed investigations. Once the cause is confirmed, you will be treated accordingly.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
