Hello
thanks for using health care magic

Gestin is progesterone that will help you to bring back your
periods if the cause of your delayed period is related to
hormonal imbalance.

The gestin will stop the delay through break through bleeding.
Some women experience bleeding even while on the pills but
generally bleeding should come when you stop pills.

Generally progesterone or its synthetic forms could be taken for
up to 10 days when aiming to induce break through bleeding.
However, this has to be discussed with your treating doctor.

Best regards
Dr Achuo
