Can The Yeast Infection Delay My Period?
My period normally comes every 34 days. My period was due yesterday and it still hasn't come. I have also had a yeast infection the past week. My boobs are sore I have been having slight headaches and stomach aches. Can the yeast infection cause a delay in my period or is it more likely I could be pregnant?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Any infection in the body for that matter can delay the periods.
Stress associated with infection,intake of medication for the infection would have altered the hormonal levels in your body that may have altered your periods.
You cant expect pregnancy if there is delay for only one day.I would suggest you to do urine pregnancy test after one week and confirm your pregnancy.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
