I have not gotten my period even after taking Meprate, and it is now 15 days late. My pregnancy test is negative. What could be the reason, and what should I do next?

Meprate usually induces periods within 5to10 days after stopping. Delay may be due to hormonal imbalance or stress. Repeat a Beta hCG blood test to confirm pregnancy status. Do hormone profile including TSH, Prolactin, and FSH. Get a Pelvic Ultrasound to rule out PCOS or other causes.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?

It is happening for the first time that my periods are delayed for 1 week. Urine and blood pregnancy tests are negative. Recently a doctor prescribed me vitamin C tablets and now my new doctor prescribed me methylprogesterone acetate tablets twice a day for 5 days. I took 3 tablets till now but my periods have not come yet. What could be the reason?

Doctor I am 11 days late for my periods. I had papaya and ginger to induce my periods but with no result. I underwent urine pregnancy test 5 days ago with 2 kits, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, but the result was negative. Is this a symptom of thyroid? If not, how many more days does it take for my period to come doctor?
