Hi,

I guess your concern is about delay in menses. Right first of all, I want to say is that Relax. It happens in reproductive age group ( its the age group from 15-45 years, in which chances of menses irregularity is common or getting pregnant is high). But you didn't give information about your age, so I can't comment.

Secondly let us discuss the drug, prescribed by ur treating doctor. the drug, prescribed to you is a type of progesterone. It is usually given for 5 days for withdrawal bleeding (bleeding occurs after delayed menses). Once the pregnancy is ruled out, it is prescribed. Bleeding usually occurs within 2 weeks of last medication.

Lastly I assure you that it usually happened but causes are different. The causes may be due to envornmental changes, hormonal changes or some pathological causes etc. If you are still worried, then discuss freely with your treating doctor. He/she can help you.

I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudha Rani Panagar
