Do you need to inject progesterone if you have a missed period?

Patient's question:

How many days should I wait? Is it necessary to take progesterone? Will drinking brown sugar water help? First follow-up question: My period is already delayed by nine days. There was a little blood yesterday, and today it turned brown, which looks very similar to ovulatory bleeding. I have experienced ovulatory bleeding before, but could my ovulation period be delayed? I have no sexual history! Only a couple of instances of pre-sex contact!

Doctor's answer:

Taking birth control pills can potentially cause irregular periods in the short term, which is a relatively common symptom. It is recommended that you first use a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. If it is not pregnancy, continue to monitor for 1-2 months. If it does not improve, then medication can be considered. The occurrence of irregular periods not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
