Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

If you are sexually active abe due for periods then you may have to get a urine pregnancy test done. If not and if this delay in periods is happening every month, then the hormonal balance is what we have to rule out. Thyroid profile and complete blood count will help here.

Cycles can be regularized but we have to make sure the cause before using any kind of medications. Medications used to set the cycles are usually hormones and shoud not be used unless indicated.

Hope, I answered your query

Wish you good health.
