I took the i-pill last month and my period is now late, but my pregnancy blood test was negative; my gynecologist prescribed Meprate for five days to help start my period, but after taking it for three days I still haven't started bleeding?when can I expect my period to start, and should I get another pregnancy blood test?
Meprate (medroxyprogesterone) is designed to trigger a withdrawal bleed after you finish the medication. You should expect your period to start about 2 to 10 days after completing the full 5-day course, not while you are still taking it. Since your blood pregnancy test was negative, you do not need to repeat it now, as these tests are highly reliable. Please complete your remaining two doses. If your period does not arrive within 10 days of finishing the medicine, consult your gynecologist for a follow-up.
