Brief Answer:
Please wait

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I read your query and I understand your concerns about delayed periods and gestofit.

Gestofit is a progesterone medicine which will help in getting periods by temporarily increasing progesterone levels in your body.

This is called withdrawal bleeding. It takes about 7 days ( not 2 days ) for periods to start in some women. Hence please wait for another 4 days. If no periods occur in next 4 days you can go for different medicines with combination of estrogen and progesterone.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.
I will be available for follow up questions.

Regards

Dr. Soumya
