Brief Answer:
Get an urine pregnancy test done, it is difficult to predict pregnancy with only symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
I would like to know few information.
1. For what you are using reason you are using regestrone 5 mg tablet and since when you are using it.
It can be used to prevent pregnancy, normalize the menstrual cycle, help correct heavy bleeding and etc. To comment on your question, the purpose of the use of medicine need to be known.
If you have used it regularly as oral contraceptive pills, you are less likely to be pregnant. But it is always good to get a urine pregnancy test done after a week of missed period. And it is better to use a morning sample of urine as it is more sensitive.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.

Regarding the usage of restrogen 5mg tablet I would like to explain you the story.
From past 10 days I had a bad low fever which made me very week and even I couldn't stand for few minutes on my legs. Also there was very uneasiness than usual with the cramps and pain however I didn't get my period so I contacted my general physician over phone as he is out of the town and explained my problem also I asked him for the mensus tablets since I couldn't able to near that uneasy ,frustration,cramps and other things. So he suggested me to take the restrogen for 5days,3tablets each day. I did it for 4days but then I didn't get my periods. So I was worried. Apart from this tablets I have even taken the citrus containers and the papaya fruit in good amount of quantity daily. However I didn't get my periods yet.

Brief Answer:
After stopping the pill it may take 3 to 5 days for the bleeding to start.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Good to hear from you.
After stopping the pill it may take 3 to 5 days for the bleeding to start.
When did you stop the pill, has it been more than 5 days?
As said earlier, it is not possible to diagnose pregnancy with only symptoms, so go for urine pregnancy test.
It will not work as contraceptive if you have just taken it for 5 days or so, your doctor has given it for withdrawal bleeding.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Take care.
