Why is there a delay in periods after taking Norethisterone?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My pregnancy test is negative. But my period is not coming. I checked my pregnancy five times with pregnancy kit. Every time it shows negative. But my period has not started. I have taken Regestrone 5 mg for three days. I took my last dose two days before but not yet got my periods. So what should I do now?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As your urine pregnancy test is negative, there is nothing to worry about. The delay could be because of hormonal changes. After taking Regestrone it will take a week or so to get your periods. So relax and do not worry.

Wait for a week or so and if you do not get periods by then get yourself checked by a gynecologist and get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause. Do get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further on.

Thank you, and take care.

Regards.
