Hi can you pl advise when a dose of regestrone 5mg has to be started to delay periods. For eg I am expecting the periods around 14-August. By what date should I start taking the dosage. Moreover is it needed to be taken twice a day or thrice? After breakfast and dinner or any time ? Pl revert

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.

If you are expecting periods on 14th August, take Regesterone 5 mg twice daily from 12th August and continue for as long as periods are not needed [maximum for 7 days]. Periods usually come within the next seven days after stopping the pills.
It is better to take the pill after break fast in the morning and after dinner at night.

Hope this satisfies your query.
All the best.
