Hello,

I suggest you to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to confirm pregnancy. It is more reliable in early weeks.

Besides pregnancy, late period could be due to hormonal imbalance, mental stress, over weight/ extreme loss, emotional upset, irregular diet habit, high prolactin level etc.

You should continue Meprate and Iron tab as per doctor's prescription. You will get your period within 5 to 7 days of stopping pill.

You must undergo one pelvic ultrasound scan and hormone test to pinpoint the diagnosis if you don't get your period within 1 week of taking medicine.

You should control body wt, avoid stress, take healthy low carbohydrate diet with avoidance of fatty food and sleep properly.

Be well.
