Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Menstrual irregularities are quite common. It can be cyclical by so many factors, and the most common is stress. Rest assured that you are not pregnant, as you had your period normally after sex. Relax. Maybe in a month or two, you will get your rhythm back. If not, better to check your thyroid status. As of now, you can have a short course of Progesterone to get the period. Try Medroxyprogesterone 10 mg daily after food for five days. If you get your period while you are on the course, stop the medicine. If not, continue for five days. You should expect your period of 48 hours to seven days of completion of the course.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again for writing.
