Can Accutane Cause Delayed Periods?

I have been on Accutane since June 9 and I have a regular period in June it came on 17 and in may on 17 and in April on 13. So I expecting my period in July 17 now it has been 6 days and I never went above 35 days in my cycle. I got intimate with my fiancé but there was no sex, all outercourse and no semen in cloths or anything and last time I was with him was on June 9. I took a pregnancy test each day I was late it was negative. My fiancé and I agreed we should take birth due to this unpleasant experience. But this made me stress, sleep less and be nervous. Which I also think is playing a part. My breast are feeling tender and seems to have lumps from sides which is what I usually feel for my period, started feeling cramps 3 days ago but very very mild. No spotting or bleeding or discharge. I actually feel dry down there. I’m in day 37 of my cycle. I asked my doctor if it was Accutane and he said possibly but doesn’t happen to a lot and none of his patients experienced it. But I am worried shall I be relieved? Is it Accutane and stress? If I am oregnant which I find it hard to believe shouldn’t signs have showed already? Like spotting and so

Hi,

Accutane is not known to cause delay in periods. Psychological tension / conception or hormonal imbalance could be probable cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
