How to resume my period?

Question

Hi doctor,

I got married last month. Since my period date was clashing with my wedding date, I had to take some medicine in order to postpone my period. My normal period cycle is 27 or 28 days, but in the last few months due to stress and exertion, I had been getting my period 5 or 6 days early. So, during the last month, I expected my period to arrive early, but that did not happen. So, I took the pill for delaying my period and unfortunately, I got my period the very next day that is four days before my marriage. My husband ejaculated right after he touched me down there. He did not even enter inside. Still, to be on the safe side, I took an I-pill the very next morning that is within less than 10 hours. So, in a span of a week from the commencement of my period till the end, I consumed two different types of medicines.

I did not get my period the next month. So, I took two home pregnancy tests and luckily both the times, I got negative results. As it got delayed for 10 days, I visited a gynecologist to assure the reason behind the delay is hormonal imbalance or if I am pregnant. My gynecologist suggested an ultrasound and I got it done the same day. As per the reports I have got two follicular cysts sized as below. Right ovary 1.7 × 1.2 inch cyst size 37 × 30 mm, left ovary 1.5 ×0.9 inch and cyst size 22 × 18 mm. My uterus size is 2.9 × 1.8 × 1.2 inches.

The doctor suggested that I am not pregnant as per the reports. The doctor prescribed medicine named Deviry for the withdrawal of my period. I took the medication twice a day for five days. The doctor suggested that I will get period any time within five days from the last tablet. But, I have not got them yet. I am really concerned if anything else is wrong inside or those cysts are growing. Please help me come out of this mess. I would like to know a few things. Is it fine to have intercourse with my husband? What is the ultimate option to resume my period and get rid of those two cysts? Are there any chances of those cysts harming my uterus? Please suggest me the right course of action. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read and understood your query.

Let me explain you that you do not have any major problem and you will get relieved by the treatment itself. Yes, you can have intercourse now at least. You have taken Deviry (Medroxyprogesterone) for five days. Actually, you should have your period within 10 days after stopping the tablets. So, do not worry. You will get your period. Just have to wait for five more days. Within five days you will get your period if what you have written is right and you have taken tablet course on time.

Secondly, you have very small sized ovarian cyst. Do one sonography on day 3 of your period and if both the cysts are there then you need to take treatment for cyst, otherwise they are gone with Deviry only. If they persist on day 3 sonography, then consult your doctor. He or she may prescribe Novelon (Desogestrel and Ethinyl estradiol) or like tablets for 21 days straight and have a gap of seven days and start other packet of 21 tablets for three months. This will end the cyst if it is a simple cyst as per the sonographic finding.
