Delayed Periods. Had Taken Meprate To Postpone Periods In The Last Month. Could That Be The Reason?
Hi, I had to postpone my period date in December. I used meprate ( Medroxyprogesterone Acetate 10mg) tablets for 15 days starting from 11-Dec-12 (17-Nov-12 was my last cycle). I got my period last on 26-Dec-12. I havent got my period yet this month. Could this be due to the tablets? I had some spotting around 9-Jan-13 for 5-6 days.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Meprate is given to regularize the menstrual cycle.
Delayed or missed periods could be due to pregnancy, hormonal imbalance, stress, and excess weight gain/loss.
I recommend you to get a urine pregnancy test done to rule out pregnancy. An ultrasonography to rule out the ovarian cyst.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nilofer AR
