I've been a bit anxious lately because back in December, I used Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I did get my period once I stopped taking them. But the thing is, now it's January, and I haven't had my period yet. I'm really wondering if this could be a side effect from the Meprate I took last month, or should I be thinking about taking a pregnancy test? What's your take on this?

I'm really worried because I missed my period and took an unwanted kit, but there was no bleeding. So, I went to a doctor who gave me some abortion pills, but still nothing happened. She checked with a home pregnancy kit, which came out negative, and mentioned that bleeding should occur within 15-20 days. It's been a month now, and still no bleeding. What could be going on?
