Hi, I missed my period last month and took a pregnancy test, which was negative. I consulted a doctor, and she prescribed Meprate tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, and Thursday was the last day of taking the tablets, but I still have not gotten my period. How many days after stopping the medication does it usually take for periods to start? Please advise. Thank you.

Meprate can take up to 10 days after stopping to bring periods. If no period by then, retest.

Hello doctor, when is the right time to do a beta HCG test? I got a negative UPT. I was supposed to have my periods on 18th July, but they are irregular due to PCOD. I am on Normoz DS and taking folic acid. Please advise.

My doctor has put me on progesterone suppositories since day 14 of my cycle to support a possible pregnancy. My period is four days late, and I have a negative home pregnancy test as well as a negative blood test. Can the progesterone suppositories be causing my period to be late?
