Hi, I have been trying for a baby for the past 6-7 months. Started taking Himalaya Shatavari pills last month.My cycle days are very regular and are 26/27 days and this month, I am 2 days late but tested negative when I took a pregnancy test. Does Shatavari pills delay periods?

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Shatavari is prescribed to revive stressed or imbalanced female genital and reproductive functions, including hormonal balance and lubrication in the mucous membranes of the reproductive tract and uterus.
Shatarvary pills do not delay periods ,they help periods to be regular.
To exclude/confirm pregnancy you should do blood B-HCG.
Take care of your self
