What should I do if I took Meprate tablets for five days to help with my irregular periods, but it has been eight days since I stopped taking them and my period still has not started, especially since my thyroid level (TSH) is slightly high at 5.98?
It is quite common for your period to take up to 10 to 14 days to start after finishing Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Since it has been eight days, your body may just need a little more time. Additionally, your slightly elevated TSH level of 5.98 indicates mild underactive thyroid activity, which can also contribute to irregular cycles and delayed bleeding. I recommend waiting a few more days. If your period does not start within two weeks of stopping the medication, or if you suspect pregnancy, please consult your doctor. They can help evaluate your thyroid and guide your next steps.
