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?

Its common for periods to delay despite Vitamin C and progesterone (Methylprogesterone). Usually, bleeding starts within 5 to 10 days after completing the 5 day course. If your period still does not come, consider doing a pelvic scan and hormone test panel.

My age is 41. I am suffering from irregular periods and I am being treated by a gynecologist. This month I missed my period. Pregnancy test is negative. USG report and Pap smear test are also negative. I have no other problem in my body. What is the reason for my missed period? Please help me. Thanks.

I am not married and have never had sexual intercourse, but my period has been delayed for 60 days. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed folic acid and iron tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, but my period still has not started. I do not have thyroid or hormonal problems. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

My last period was on February 25, and I still have not gotten my period. I did a beta HCG test on March 25, which was 0.4 (negative), and a urine pregnancy test on April 2, which was also negative. What should I do next?
