default
Posted on Sat, 25 Aug 2012
Question: HI,
I had my periods on 6th XXXXXXX after which my date was due on 6th July. But my periods got delayed for 20days. I had unprotected sex in the middle of XXXXXXX
I visited a gynae and got UPT done. It was negative, also I did pregnancy test at home which also showed negative results.
As prescribed by Gynae, I took 2 tab of gynaset daily for 3 days. Now this is the 3rd day after stopping the tablet.
Please tell me when will I get my periods

hi,
Thanks for the query.

the possible causes for your delayed periods are,

-hormonal imbalance that can occur due to various causes like poly cystic ovarian disease, stress and strain, recent illness, weight changes etc affecting hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis,

-possibility of pregnancy: though urine pregnancy test kits are less sensitive in early pregnancy, as you have done twice and as 20 days over from expected date of periods we can take the chances of pregnancy as less.

as you took gynaset tablets which will contain medroxyprogesterone, after completing the dose and stopping the pills usually within 5 to 7 days you will get periods.
if not further investigations like ultrasound, hormonal evaluation etc may be needed to find out the cause.

Thanks for your response.

I forgot to mention that for the past 1month, I have been feeling intermittent pain in lower stomach similar to the pre-menstruation pain. I always felt I am gonna get my periods but this never happened.

Now, today is the fourth day after stopping the pills.
Also, I don't feel pregnancy at any stage. But now after I have stopped the pills, I don't even feel the pain.
Can you help me know, what gynaset actually does?
Now, its gonna be almost 30 days delay. Is it normal in my age group?
Can it be a symptom of any complication that might occur in future?

And even if I get my periods in next 3 days, will the cycle become normal from then?

hi,

gynaset which is a progesterone limits the growth of estrogen primed endometrium and after stopping the pills leads to withdrawal bleeding.
menstrual irregularities can affect any age of reproductive group because of causes as I mentioned previously.
the continuation of problem will depend on the cause for it, if simple causes like stress etc leading to the problem then that may not recur in next month, if other problems like PCOD causing this treatment may be needed.

so you wait for 3 more days, possibly periods will come, if not you can get investigated for the cause, then depending on that treatment can be taken.
