Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My period got delayed by 12 days, and the pregnancy test was also negative. Which medicine should be taken to get a period immediately?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
If your period is delayed by 12 days and your pregnancy test is negative, it is important to determine the underlying cause before taking medication. Factors like stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, weight changes, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to irregular periods. Common medications used to induce periods include Medroxyprogesterone, Norethindrone (a synthetic form of progesterone), and natural progesterone supplements.
However, it is important to consult a doctor before taking any medication. Your doctor may perform tests to rule out underlying conditions like thyroid problems or PCOS. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to unwanted side effects or complications without proper diagnosis and supervision.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other concerns.
Regards.
