Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Generally, Primolut N is taken for 5 days and then stopped.
Bleeding occurs within a week.
Primolut N is a progesterone derivative, and it works when the periods are delayed due to mild hormonal disturbance.
Wait for 2 more days, and then consult a gynecologist.
Do you always have regular periods ?
As the pregnancy tests are negative, do not worry about a pregnancy.
Also, consult a gynaecologist to rule out other causes of a missed period - polycystic ovaries, fibroids, cysts, endometrial hyperplasia, hypothyroidism etc.
You would require an internal exam, pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal assay - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS.
What is your height and weight ?
Did you take any hormonal pills.
Stress, exercise, weight changes, lack of sleep, change in diet, travelling etc can also cause irregular cycles.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.

Hello Doctor , yesterday I consulted a gynaecologist she said that I was having pcod and told me to have meprate for 5 days 2 tablets each day so will this help to get my periods? because I already had primolut N also but it dint work
Brief Answer:
YES IT MIGHT WORK IN HIGHER DOSAGE.
Detailed Answer:
PCOD is characterized by such hormonal disturbances and irregular cycles.
Often, higher dosage of progesterone is required for withdrawal bleed.
Did the doctor perform an ultrasound scan ?
You took Meprate for only 3 days, taking it for 5 days might help in inducing a period.
Take care.

No she dint ask for a ultra sound. I am having meprate for 5 days. I hope by this I get my periods stil I am having cramping frequently. she said to go for a thyroid test because my height is 5.2 and weight is 57 so soon I wl go for a thyroid test. I just want to confirm that meprate will help to get my periods or not?
Brief Answer:
IT MIGHT WORK
Detailed Answer:
That can be confirmed by scanning and checking the status of the lining of the uterus.
I would ask you to go for that.
If that is not possible, you can go for a trial of Meprate, extended 5 days course might work.
Take care.
