Question : Hi
I was on XXXXXXX 35 for irregular period as I am having pros.this month after taking XXXXXXX 35 also I didn't get periods even after 10 days.so I consulated doc and she told me to take mediate 10 mg for 10days. I was taking it from yesterday today morning just small trace came. Again I consulated the doc to continue the tablet or not she told to do a scan and after scanning she told ovary is just 5 mm thick,so you won't get periods. you can continue meprate. You will get the period after Completion of the dose

Brief Answer:
Take meprate

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Sometimes, the endometrial thickness is not thick enough so that it responds to the hormonal drugs to induce bleeding.
You should continue meprate for 10 days to induce withdrawal bleeding.
If the periods do not occur within7-10 days of stopping meprate, then you should get your FSH levels done to assess the activity of ovaries.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
There is no harm in taking meprate.
Irregular periods can be due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
You should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
