Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, stress or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia or polycystic ovarian disease.Cytotec will not induce periods if you are not pregnant.
I would suggest you to get your urine pregnancy test , if negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
