I Am Not Getting My Period After Taking Of Medroxyprogesterone For PCOS
Age - 20 , Sex - Female , Diagnosis - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) I have been diagnosed with PCOS, i was prescribed Medroxyprogesterone to induce a bleed every 3 months. I take the tablets for 12 days and then within 2 days , I have a menstrual period lasting 3-4 days. This time, I have done exactly the same thing, but 8 days after my 12th tablet, I still have NOT had a bleed ! What does this mean !? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
