Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for contacting healthcaremagic.
IF this is the first time that you have missed your period by 2 weeks and have checked by a pregnancy test that you are notpregnant,then you should get an ultrasound pelvis done to check for endometrial thickness.IF it is more than 10mm the you should opt for a progesterone withdrawal bleed to resume your menses.
PLease follow up with the usg report for futher advice on progesterone withdrawal if required depending on the report.
