Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You are overdue for a few days if your cycle is regular. For restoration of periods, I suggest the following:

1) Tablet Gynorit (Ethinyl Estradiol and Norethisterone Acetate) once a day for two days.

Your periods may start in the following few 3 to 5 days. You may have a few but mild side effects like nausea, bloating, breast engorgement, headache. I hope it is helpful.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There is always a possibility of pregnancy if you are sexually active and have unprotected sexual intercourse in the current cycle. However, chances are quite low if you have had sexual activity in the non-fertility window. It is better to have a pregnancy strip test to get out of worry. Medicine is safe and effective for its use. I hope this helps.

Thank you.
