Brief Answer:
Wait for one more week.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,

I am sorry for delay in response.

I have gone through your previous question I found that you have hemoglobin is 9 gm.

Anemia could be the reason for light periods and irregular periods.

I would suggest you wait one more week if you will not get periods then I suggest you visit a doctor

and doctor would suggest you medication which contains progesterone for withdrawal bleeding.

And I also suggest you get some investigations done like thyroid profile and ultrasound scan to rule out polycystic ovaries.

I suggest you start Iron supplements and eat iron rich food.

If you are overweight try to reduce your weight. Reduce weight will help you to regularize your periods.

Once again I apologies for delayed response.

Hope I have answered your query.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
