Brief Answer:
need more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to healthcare magic. I understand your concern.

Limcee is a vit C supplement and is used in many conditions like stress, healing of wounds especially post surgery, in common cold etc. But limcee might not effect the menstruation.

Before giving you any suggestions I need to know:
1) Why and from when on you are taking limcee?
2) Are your cycles usually regular?
3) Is this the first time you have missed the period?
4) When was your last menstrual period?
5) Are you sexually active and if so when did you undergo intercourse?
6) Was the intercourse unprotected?
7) what is your height and weight?

Kindly provide me the information.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Best regards...Dr.srilatha

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test need to be done

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I got your information. I understand your concern.

In my opinion you have got irregular cycles usually. If its 45 days from your last menstrual period I suggest you to do a urine pregnancy test. If the test is negative then only take tab. meprate 10 mg twice a day for 5 days for the period. This is a prescription medicine and it might take 3 to 10 days for period to come.

If the urine pregnancy test is positive then consult a gynecologist for further course of action.
Your height and weight are not appropriate and you appear to be overweight. I suggest you to get an ultrasound to rule out PCOD and thyroid profile to rule out thyroid abnormalities.

Weight reduction is first and most important thing. Because even 10% weight loss also causes the regular cycles.
PCOD and thyroid abnormalities are the causes for irregular cycles so you need to exclude them by necessary investigations.
Don't worry correction of them will make cycles regular.
Stress also causes hormonal imbalance and delays the period.So relax.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.

Brief Answer:
preg card can be used for testing

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion you can do the test with preg card.If the test is negative you can take meprate 10 mg twice a day for 5 days.
But do the test when it is 45 days past from your last period.
The name of medicine for pregnancy termination is unwanted kit.It will work only upto 6 weeks of pregnancy.
But I suggest you to take medicine under gynaecologist supervision and not to take on your own because it might cause incomplete abortion or heavy bleeding sometimes.
Hope those satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
