Hello,

Missed period may be due to ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy (though rare), stress, rapid gain or loss of weight, thyroid diseases, long standing diabetes or if you stop using oral contraceptives suddenly. If your period doesn't resume, please do consult a gynecologist for further evaluation. Ectopic pregnancy is very rare but it requires immediate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
