What causes delay in periods?
Patient: Hello Dr., My LMP was on 25 aug 2010 . my periods are absolutely normal & timely appears after 28 days. on 10 sep i had an IUI & from 12 sep night onwards till next 15 days i have been prescribed one duphaston daily at night. My expected mp date was 22 sep , 3 days are exceeded still did not get my periods . What should i conclude ? am i pregnent or its bcos of duphaston periods are delayed. Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the duphaston is a progesterone hormone which supports the endometrium for the implantation.It might not cause delay in periods.As the period is delayed there might be chance of pregnancy.I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test after a week of missed period for accurate results.So relax.Avoid stress.Best regards...
