I'm over a week late in my period. For 0.5 years I had to take Duphaston because my myoma was excised. During this time, I had a regular period, and when I stopped taking these drugs, there are some delays. What could be the reason? I would like to add that over 2 weeks ago I visited the doctor and he said that everything is fine.
First of all, pregnancy should be ruled out. Irregular menstruation may appear as a result of, for example, hormonal disorders, stress, excessive exercise or diets. If your period does not start for another week and the pregnancy tests are negative, see your doctor.
