Is Fifth Disease The Cause For Delayed Periods?

Hi, I'm about 2 weeks late for my period. They are usually pretty regular. Last time my husband and I had intercourse was a month ago, in the middle of my period though. I'm worried I'm pregnant, but I also had Fifth's disease about 2 weeks ago, could that have delayed my period?? I was pretty sick, still coughing now, actually.

Hi I think any type of illness can lead to delayed periods. But better to rule out pregnancy first by urine pregnancy test. If negative, you can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods. Hope it helps.
