Meprate

I have irregular periods and has been diagnosed PCOS. 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,
I have 10 months ol body and breast feeding the milk to my boy.
please write.
I can see my doctor not before next week.

HI,
Welcome to the forum and sorry for the delay. The cause of irregular periods in your case may be related to breast feeding rather than PCOS. Meprate is a progesterone which is used to induce a withdrawal bleed in case of delayed menses. If the pregnancy test is negative then an ultrasound scan should be done to see for the lining of the uterus. If the endometrium is very thin or there is endometritis periods are delayed.
Hope this helps.
