Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Delay in periods can occur due to many causes.
Like hormonal imbalance, thyroid hormonal abnormalities, poly cystic ovary disease, general causes like anemia etc.
Progesterone tablets help in inducing withdrawal bleeding.
But sometimes it may take 7 to 10 days to induce withdrawal bleeding.
So, wait for one more week.
Possibly by that time you will get withdrawal bleeding.
If you do not get withdrawal bleeding even after one week, consult gynecologist once and get evaluated.
Then you may go for combined hormonal pills to induce withdrawal bleeding with your doctor's advice.
Take care.
