Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
When you failed to have your period on the 24th of May, why did you not take a pregnancy test ?
As such, having sex just when your periods are expected is very less likely to result in a pregnancy.
As you have taken Registrone, wait for a week more, generally within a week of having Registrone, you will have your withdrawal period.
If you do not menstruate by the next week, take a pregnancy test again.
Also have a gynaecological examination - internal exam - per vaginum and per speculum.
A pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan and hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone.
Reasons like anxiety, stress, weight gain, hypothyroidism, PCOD ( polycystic ovarian disease ), erratic eating or sleeping etc can also lead to delayed cycles.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
