Hello dear,
since your pregnancy test is negative, period delay of 50 days is usually due to hormonal imbalance, stress, PCOS, thyroid issues, or weight changes.
Yes, Regestrone CR (progesterone) is commonly used to induce periods — but only after confirming pregnancy is negative and ruling out other causes.
👉 If urine test was done early, repeat once.
👉 Better to consult once before restarting the tablet.
💛 Don’t self-medicate repeatedly without checking the cause.

Since your pregnancy test is negative you can take medicine to get your period.
Consult for prescription please.

Since your pregnancy test is negative, delayed periods are likely due to hormonal imbalance.
You should not restart Regestrone-CR on your own without medical advice, even if it helped last year. Before taking it, pregnancy should be definitively ruled out and the cause of delay assessed.
Next steps:
Repeat urine pregnancy test after 1 week or do blood β-hCG
Consult a gynecologist for evaluation (USG pelvis, TSH if needed)
Take medicines only after prescription
Caution:
Repeated use of hormonal tablets without evaluation can mask underlying problems like thyroid issues or PCOS.
