Suggest Treatment For Irregular Periods
I have irregular periods and has been diagnosed PCOD. My doctor prescribed me Meprate (Medroxprogesterone acetate tablets)
10 mg for 5 days, 2 tablets a day. she told me to take the tablets and that i should get my periods after 2-3 days.
It has been almost 14 days now since i finished taking the tablets but i did not get my periods. I also tested pregnancy
using PTK 2 days back but it was negative. If anyone has some experience with this medicine,

Hello,
Besides PCOD, irregular period may be due to Thyroid problem, over weight/ extreme loss, mental stress, emotional upset, eating disorder, high prolactin.
Therefore, I suggest to undergo additional investigations like thyroid profile, blood prolactin level, Hb%, LH/ FSH, DHEAS, PPBS etc. These test result will determine further course of treatment.
You may require cyclic combined hormonal pill and Metformin to regularize your period. Kindly, consult with your doctor.
You should control body wt by regular physical exercise, avoid stress, take healthy low carbohydrate diet with avoidance of fatty food and sleep properly.
Be well.
