Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My periods are 10 days late. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday, and it came back negative. Can you suggest any medicine to help get my periods started?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It’s possible to try a withdrawal bleed using progesterone tablets. I would suggest taking 10 mg of progesterone twice a day for 5 days. Your period should start within 5 to 7 days after completing the medication. However, it’s important to check with your healthcare provider to ensure this approach is right for you, especially if there are any underlying conditions affecting your menstrual cycle.

 

Thanks
