Brief Answer: Delay is due to PCOD. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Since your doctor has prescribed you Regestrone she must have ruled out pregnancy by doing a pregnancy test before that. If the test is negative then pregnancy is ruled out. I suggest you to visit your gynecologist to undergo physical check up and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case as a hormonal imbalance associated with PCOD can cause this delay. You may need hormonal therapy for 2-3 months to regularize your periods. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer: Can be due to pregnancy. Detailed Answer: Hello. Thanks for writing again. Pregnancy can be the cause. Do not take RU 486 without confirming the pregnancy after a urine test. It is a XXXXXXX drug if not used under medical supervision. Self medication like this can be XXXXXXX for your health. Do get a urine test done to find out if you are pregnant. Hope my answer is helpful. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health. Regards
