Hi,
I understand your concern.
Usually hormonal pills are given in raised dose for a short course ( Regestrone 1 tab. three times a day for 3 days)which follows withdrawal bleeding in 8 days of stopping the pills.
If the problem repeats you need further consideration-next month,
There are number of reasons for missed periods apart om pregnancy-like physical/psychological stress,long standing illness,sever anemia,hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, PCOD,fibroid uterus ...
Investigations like blood work,thyroid function test,USG abdomen, hormonal assay are to be done after primary physical check up by a gynecologist to pin point the cause followed by specific treatment.
Thanks.
