Hello,

EC can cause delayed period for 1-2 weeks and irregular cycle due to hormonal imbalance. Other reasons are stress, over wt, ovarian cyst, thyroid problem, high prolactin, irregular diet pattern etc.

You need a complete health check up by gynecologist. One pelvic USG and hormone tests are required to pinpoint the diagnosis.

Key treatment: low carbohydrate diet, control body wt, hormonal medication, avoid mental stress by meditation and take sound sleep. Good luck.
