I've just finished a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, and it's been four days since then, but I still haven't got my period. How long is it usually supposed to take after finishing the medication for periods to start? Should I be concerned?
After taking a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, it is common to experience a delay in the onset of your menstrual period. Typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-7 days after finishing the course of Deviry. If you have not started your period within a week after completing the medication, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm planning to get pregnant and my gynecologist advised me to start taking folic acid tablets for two months beforehand. I'm curious about the difference between Folsafe L and Folvite. I'm also concerned because my husband and I are cousins. Which of these tablets would be more suitable for me?
Since its a consanguineous marriage, there may arise some problems with the child so you have to be very careful.Anyways, you can take any of the two because both are essentially the same. Not an issue which you choose.
