What Causes Delayed Periods?
I had sex with my boyfriend on 17th July. We used a condom. But fearing for unexpected pregnancy I took Postinor 2 the next day. It was 2 pills, so one pill on 18th and another after 12 hours. On 7th August I had my period. Now it s 20th Sep and I haven t got my period yet. Am I pregnant ?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
If you have unprotected intercourse history after first time sex than rule out pregnancy by hcg card test which will positive if conception occurs
If pregnancy not present than rule out diabetes and thyroid problem by RBS and serum TSH estimation
Excess stress avoided
Obesity, excess exercise and prolonged fasting can lead delayed period
If still no cause clear than Hormonal imbalance evaluated through Hormonal profile and accordingly drug given for that
If needed USG done for further work up
Take care
Consult gynecologist for examination
