Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Delayed period is due to hormonal imbalance, caused by taking I-PILL. If you have undergone home pregnancy test very recently and gotten NEGATIVE test result, then you can take progesterone pill like NORETHISTERONE for 3 -5 days to induce period. Kindly, consult with your doctor for prescription.

Hope, above information is quite helpful to you. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.
