Could Folic Acid Delay Periods?

Hi Doc, I think this is my first time my period is late of 9 days. Is it because of the folic acid? i start consume folic acid for the past 1 month. But i do not have any symptoms of pregnancy and i have not done any pregnancy test yet. It is just that i have a very big appetite for the past 2 weeks. Please advise. Thanks.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you missed the period then this is may not be due to folic acid taken but this could be due to hormone disturbances if pregnancy is doubtful then better get done the test, if this is negative then this is nothing to worry and according to history given here, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
