Hi,
Thanks. I understand your concern.
Delayed periods.. with pregnancy test -ve after 15 days delay in periods....Excludes pregnancy....Doubt may be cleared by blood HCG test..
You had taken ipill in December 21st &following 3 monthly cycles were set on 5th of every month... so the delay this time can not be due to effect of i pill.. Menses can be delaed by certain other things than pregnancy.... like-
- Ill health/severe anemia.
-Psychological or physical stress.
-Hormonal imbalance (ovarian(cyst/pcod) or thyroid problems
-fibroid uterus.
* In this scenario-You need a through check up by a gynecologist. After detailed physical check up a short course suitable oral contraceptives is mostly given to such patients ...to bring about withdrawal bleeding within 8-10 days of stopping the course.
*After this a course of iron,multi vitamin tonic with high protein diet would be advised to observe next menstrual cycles..which may set regular .Or may need three cyclicles of contraceptives.
OR
* Needful investigations would be advised to find the exact cause followed by specific treatment.
Thanks.
