Hello doctor,
I am currently 25 years old and this the first time that my period is late and it has been over 35 days. I am not married, I do not have PCOS. It is just that my period was never late and now I am worried sick. Please I need your advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Do not worry about the periods, as you are aware that delay in periods can be due to obesity as you had suffered last time, however my compliments to you for reducing 30 lbs of weight (attachment removed to protect patient identity), so we can conclude that delay is not due to being overweight. Then delay can be due to hormonal changes due to various medications specially birth control pills, etc., which you are not taking. Stress is also one of the major reasons these days due to Corona and associated problems. Pregnancy can be a reason but only if one is sexually active, and you are out of that risk as well. May be the cramps you had are signs of periods onset, we can wait for 2-3 days and may be then start with medication.
