Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are having delayed period, there could be lots of reasons for it.

  • First on the list is pregnancy, which you have ruled out already.
  • Second cause could be PCOD which gives rise to multiple tiny cysts in your ovaries with failure in ovulation thereby leading to no menstruation.
  • Third cause is hormonal imbalance or thyroid related issues.

So I would suggest you to check your thyroid and prolactin staus and also get a TVS done to see the condition of your ovaries.

For bringing out your periods you can try Medroxyprogesterone acetate 10mg daily for 5 days.

However, it will not cure your primary cause. You must find out the primary cause to get permanent relief. Consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/obstetrician-and-gynaecologist
