I'm 20 and my periods have always been regular, but this month it's already 7 days late, which is unusual for me. I've never had sex, though my boyfriend and I are sexually active without intercourse. I'm trying to figure out if this could be a hormonal imbalance or something else. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I might do about it?

Question

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?
