What Causes Delayed Periods?

Hi, I am late for my period. I usually start at the beginning of the month, but it is getting towards the middle, still nothing yet. I have not had sex but my boyfriend has fingered me and has done oral. I did get sick the week my period should have came, sore throat and sinus symptoms but I am better now. I am worrying myself over this, and keep reading about things just stressing myself out even more. Thanks.

Hi,

Delay in the periods could be due to stress or overweight or low body weight, Stress (mostly), Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or Thyroid problems etc. & no chance for pregnancy with your history. I advice you to:
1. Check I've hemoglobin levels
2. Thyroid function test
3. Do YOGA & stress management
4. Nutritious diet rich in protein & iron

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
