A member asked:

I am taking estrogen to get a period and i was supposed to get one already and i havent. what could that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Progesterone: Estrogen stimulates the lining of the uterus to grow; Progesterone makes it slough and you have a period. Taking both together every day will prevent normal periods from ocurring.
