Hi,

If a urine pregnancy test is not done yet, please let her go for it. If the test gives positive result, Meprate containing progesterone will not usually lead to withdrawal effect on pregnant endometrium and so bleeding. If the test gives negative result, after taking Meprate tablet sometimes it may take around one week to ten days to get the withdrawal bleeding. So, you can wait for a few more days and she may get the bleeding soon.

If she doesn't get withdrawal bleeding even 10 days after stopping the tablets, better to consult gynecologist once, get examined and go for an ultrasound, hemoglobin, blood sugar level and thyroid profile, etc. With this the possible cause of the delay can be identified and treatment can be planned accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri S. R., OBGYN
