What Causes Delayed Period While On Mobic?

My period is 3 days late but the pregnancy tests I ve taken are all negative. (so far) My period is ALWAYS on time, or at least spotting 1 day before my expected period. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant, so I have been charting, but I m just not sure now? I ve been on the medication Mobic for about a month now due to a foot injury. Is it likely that I m pregnant, or could the Mobic be the cause for the delay?

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Mobic (meloxicam) does not interfere or delay periods.
Some causes that can delay periods in the absence of pregnancy are ovarian cysts, stress, illness, travel across time zones, sudden weight changes, major lifestyle changes.

I recommend :
- wait for another 5 days. Repeat a pregnancy test. If negative, wait for another week for you period to arrive.
If your period is late by 2 weeks and your pregnancy tests are negative, I suggest you see your OBGYN for a scan to check for ovarian cysts and other hormonal imbalances.
-try to switch to topical Medications while trying for a pregnancy unless you absolutely need oral medications.
-take a folic acid supplement daily.
-if your cycles don't return to normal in the next 3months, you may need a hormonal workup (thyroid, reproductive hormones).

Don't worry about one delayed period. I do hope it turns out that you are pregnant. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health and hope you conceive soon
