Consultation not successful
Hello Doctor, I completed my Meprate course on 29 September as prescribed, but I have had no withdrawal bleeding yet. My last period started on 13 September, and I had unprotected intercourse on 2 October. My pregnancy test on 5 October was negative, but I understand it may have been too early. I wanted to prepone my periods for Navratri. Could you please advise what I should do next? Should I get a pregnancy test or any evaluation before taking further medication? I consulted to Dr Jyoti Ahlawat . She gave me meprate course. But nothing happened. Now I am stucked in between. What do I do now.

No withdrawal bleeding this soon after a Meprate course isn't unusual, but the unprotected intercourse on 2 October changes the picture here. Your test on 5 October was taken only 3 days after that encounter, which is far too early for any urine or home test to pick up a pregnancy.
Next Steps
Repeat a urine pregnancy test around 2 to 3 weeks from 2 October, or sooner if your period still hasn't started by then. If that test is also negative and bleeding still hasn't started, please see your gynaecologist for a check and bloodwork before restarting any period-regulating medicine.
Health Tips
Don't repeat or adjust the Meprate course on your own until pregnancy is ruled out properly.
