More than 20 days without a menstrual period is abnormal?

Patient's question:

My menstrual cycle was usually normal, but last winter I took 3 boxes of Lüjiao Blood-Enriching Granules. After finishing them, my period didn't come back. I received 4 shots of progesterone, and it came once, but now it hasn't returned. It's been over 20 days since then, and it still hasn't come. Isn't this abnormal? What should I do?
