Brief Answer:
Sometimes there maybe less bleeding ; please give more details.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
As such, after taking Gynaset, the bleeding should be heavier than usual, as the lining of the uterus builds up.
However, at times, as you have interfered with normal menses, the bleeding maybe different from usual.
Have you been sexually active meanwhile ?
Are your cycles generally regular ?
The bleeding might get heavier over the coming few days.
What is your height and weight ?
What dose of the tablets did you take ?
Did you consult a doctor before taking them, or took them on your own >
When was your last menstrual period - and what is your normal cycle length and duration ?
Please write back with these clarifications.
Take care.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. I had taken the tablets on the advice of a gen Physician. I had taken it for two days ; two doses each and one dose before and one dose after.
My cycle is usually of 28-30 Days with normal bleeding that lasts for 6-7 days. My last cycle was on the 28th of Nov and i had sex on the 5th day of that cycle (unprotected).
My date for the current month was the 25th Dec and I had severe cramps for a week before and on that day. My height is 5'5 and I weigh 72 KGs.

Thank you for reverting.
You mentioned 3 days dosage.
Actually the tablet is to be taken for 5 days, to induce a proper withdrawal bleed.
On what dates did you take the tablet , and why did you wish to postpone your cycle ?

I had taken a night dose on 22nd ; one dose in the morning and in the night on the 23rd and 24th and one morning dose on 25th.

I was on a temple visit on these days and didn't want to sit it out due to periods. Which is why I took the tablets.

The periods flow started on the 28th. Actual date was the 25th.
