It is quite common for your period to take up to 2 weeks to arrive after finishing a course of Progynova 2 mg Tablet (estradiol) and Meprate Tablet (medroxyprogesterone), as your body needs time to respond to the drop in hormone levels. The delay may happen due to your womb lining taking longer to shed or an underlying hormonal imbalance that the tablets have not yet fully regulated. If your period does not start within another week, you should take a pregnancy test if relevant, or consult your doctor for further evaluation.

You're asking what to do because your period hasn't started one week after finishing estradiol and medroxyprogesterone.

โš•๏ธ What this likely is

  • With 7 days of estradiol (estradiol) followed by 14 days of medroxyprogesterone (a progestin), a withdrawal bleed commonly occurs but can be delayed; a short estrogen course sometimes fails to โ€œprimeโ€ the lining, producing no or late bleeding.
  • Other reasonable possibilities: pregnancy (if sexually active) or underlying anovulation/ hormonal issues (e.g., thyroid, polycystic ovary syndrome).

๐Ÿฅ What to do now

  • Do a urine pregnancy test now if there was any chance of pregnancy.
  • Wait an additional 7 days โ€” many withdrawal bleeds appear within 2 weeks of stopping progestin.
  • If still no bleeding after 2 weeks, see a gynecologist for evaluation; they may repeat pregnancy testing and consider pelvic exam and basic labs (thyroid, prolactin) or adjust hormones.
  • Bring the exact medication names/doses and the dates you took them when you see the doctor.

โš ๏ธ Warning signs โ€” seek urgent care

  • Heavy bleeding (soaking >1 pad/hour), severe abdominal pain, fainting, or fever โ€” go to the emergency department.

๐Ÿฉบ Follow-up

  • Were you sexually active without reliable contraception during treatment?
  • What was the reason for this hormone course (bleeding control vs. HRT vs. contraception)?
  • What is your usual cycle length and date of last period before treatment?
