Patient's question:
The last menstrual period arrived on 9/11, with a typical cycle of 34 days. It usually lasts for about five to six days. The last period lasted for nine days to completely clean up, with the last four days being particularly irregular. It hadn't arrived by 11/13. During this time, I took traditional Chinese medicine for a week, but it didn't work. Then I saw a Western doctor who prescribed progesterone and anti-inflammatory medication (vaginal and rectal suppositories). Throughout this period, I had four thorough check-ups, including blood tests and urine tests, but I didn't get pregnant. I took progesterone for seven days, which was exactly one box. Today, 13th, is the third day after finishing the progesterone, and my period still hasn't arrived. I always feel a bit of sensation in my lower abdomen, but it doesn't go away. I have never given birth and have not had an abortion.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,According to your description, you don’t need to hurry. Waiting a few more days might help your period arrive. Progesterone usually causes bleeding three to seven days after stopping the medication. It’s likely still an issue with irregular menstruation, so don’t worry too much. Being too anxious can actually help the treatment.
The above advice is for the question, "How to regulate a menstrual cycle that was longer than usual last time (cycle started on 9/11)?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
