What Causes Delay In Periods Despite Being Anemic?
Hello. I have been feeling very dizzy this month due to being iron deficient. I haven t been taking my supplements as regularly as I should. I also had to take the morning after pil on day 22 of my cycle. However it has been 5 weeks in total since the first day of my lost period. I have taken a pregnancy test and it is negative. Can anaemia delay the cycle?

Hello,
Anemia can be a cause of delayed periods. I suggest you to take iron supplements after consultation with your physician. Correction of iron supplements will correct the menstrual cycle delay.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
