What Could Cause Missed Periods After Taking Meprate Tablets With HPT Negative?

Hi, I had my last periods on Jan 13 2014. After that i didnt get periods in feb so I took meprate 10 mg for 5 days from 17th Feb 2014. Still no sign of periods. So the doctor told me to take meprate 10 mg 2 times in a day for 5 days. I've finished the meprate dose today only. Will I get my periods this time?? What is the cause of my periods not coming?? I took pregnancy test but its negative. Please help me

Hello and welcome,
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.

I understand your concern. It would help to know your age and any other significant history like thyroid.
Meprate will cause periods if there is estrogen in the body. If there is no estrogen to cause a primary growth of the uterine lining, meprate cannot act to produce periods. Periods come within 7 days after stopping meprate. So wait for 7 days.
Causes for these may be hormonal disturbances, PCOD, premature menopause.
If still no periods check for other hormone disturbances like thyroid, LH, FSH and prolactin and an ultrasound. If they are abnormal, direct treatment towards them.
Hope this helped.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
