Brief Answer:
Norethisterone
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then pregnancy is ruled out.
You can take norethisterone tablet to induce periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
