Posted on Wed, 28 Jun 2017

Question: Hello Mam, My name is XXXXXXX For the last 3 months I have irregular periods then I use Regetrone after using that for 5 days I will get periods on 3rd day. Same thing happened for the last 3 months.

More Over I took postpone tablet on alternate days in the march due to some family function, since then my periods are irregular.

We consulted doctor and they prescribed Lupigest 200 for five days and daily 2 tablets. This course is done 2 days before but still my period has not come yet. I feel severe stomach pain from today.

Also last month we have planned for pregnancy and we used lupigest 200 now. What will happen.

Please advise.

Regards XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Wait for 3-5 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Periods usually come within 5-7 days of stopping lupigest.
I will suggest you to wait for 3 -5 days for the periods.
If they do no occur within this time period, then a urine pregnancy test should be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Pain in the abdomen can be due to impending periods, cramps in early pregnancy or any other cause like gastroenteritis or urine infection.
If the pain is severe, then you should consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination, investigations like ultrasound and get the further treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
