Suggest Medication For Delay In Periods

Courtney
My doctor put me on provera after I was on depo for 3 yrs. I took it for 10 days then started my period on october 28. Is this the day that I will start my period from now on. If so I started my period 4 days late , could I be pregnant? Ive been having stomach and back pains and been feeling dizzy but my fiance has been feeling sick, hes been having stomach aches, nausea, and can barely keep anything down.

Hello,

Depo shot is very much effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy and to be taken once in 3 months. It has failure rate less than 0.3 per HWY.

Late period may be due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress. However, your chance of pregnancy is EXTREMELY RARE as you got your period.

Above clinical features may be due to general weakness during period. Take healthy diet, drink plenty water, maintain genital hygiene and take adequate bed rest.

Good luck.
