Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Not having your periods on time is mainly seen in PCOS. If her pregnancy test is negative then it is not rational to give her progesterone as it will further delay her period if she is not pregnant.The treatment of pregnancy is not given on presumptions.
