What Causes Delay In Menstruation?

Yes, please. I m 46 yrs old. I was taking birth control pills to regulate my period. I stopped taking them because of side effects. I quit in mid-november and was only on the for a little over a week. As of today, I m 7 days late. I am sexually active and no use of protection. Could I be pregnant?

Hi,

If your periods continue to be regular, and you are sexually active with no use of protection, then, you might have chances for pregnancy. Wait for another 3 days to get a pregnancy test.

All the best!
