Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome to HCM.

I would like to know few information for better assessment. Have you tested negative for pregnancy using home kit, are your menses are always irregular or is this first time. What is your age.

If you are not pregnant, and as your periods are delayed for two month, the reason for it has to be evaluated for that I would suggest you not to consume any drug without consultation, and advice you to visit gynecologist for examination. They will prescribe you hormonal agent to correct your irregularity.

Usually PCOD is a common condition that will cause delayed periods, that need to be excluded, for the same I suggest you to see doctor.

As I have not personally examined you, I will not be able to prescribe medicines.

I Hope three information of same help to you.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Do as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As you have mentioned about anemia, anemia can be responsible for delayed period.

I would suggest you to go for complete blood picture with peripheral smear to identify the type of anaemia, based on the type we can consider next investigation to confirm it.

Both anaemia and delayed periods is noted in thyroid problems like hypothyroidism, so a Thyroid function test should be done.

Based on the above results, we can consider the treatment. Inducing period with a hormonal agent can be considered but finding the cause is a must. So I suggest you to see a doctor for a physical examination so that he/she can suggest the appropriate line of treatment.

Take care
