General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

She does not necessarily have to do anything. The use of hormonal medication can off set the menstrual cycle, but since her cycles were previously normal, they should return to normal within 1 to 3 cycles.

Primolut is sometimes used to start a delayed period.

I hope this helps
