Period came yesterday, 4 days late. too much stress. took aleve (naproxen) today, took a while to work, switched from ponsta forte? should i switch back?

No: Both meds are in the same "family". Which ever one works is best, don't take both. As always read the container to check dosage and don't exceed recommendations. Take care and try to reduce your stress please.
