Hello dear
Understand your concern
You had already confirm the pregnancy by pregnancy test an that was negative so pregnancy is excluded.
I prescribed regesteron to induce the bleeding in absence of pregnancy. 5 mg twice daily for 4-6 days should be given after proper evaluation by gynecologist. It should be not used regualr to induce bleeding. Better to find the cause of problem and period can be regularized by contraceptive pill.
Other causes of delayed period should be rule out like
dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to hormonal imbalance, ovarian cyst/polycystic ovarian syndrome, thyroid disorder.
Avoid stress, do regular stretching and relaxation exercise daily in the morning for 45-60 minutes, take healthy diet and fresh fruits regular.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
