Can period be delayed by 10 days?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Periods can get delayed by any number of days. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because I haven't had sex with my boyfriend, but we were cuddling and humping naked from June 3rd to June 6th, and his sperm ended up on my lower region. We started worrying about pregnancy, so I took Unwanted 72 on June 7th. We did a urine test on June 8th, and it was negative. My last period ended on May 10th, so I expected my next period around June 7th or 8th. But now it's June 16th, and I still haven't gotten my period. Can taking Unwanted 72 delay my period?

While nipple stimulation can trigger the release of the hormone prolactin, which plays a role in milk production, it typically requires pregnancy or recent childbirth to induce lactation. Without a pregnancy, prolonged nipple stimulation alone may not result in milk production, though it can have temporary effects like increased sensitivity or small amounts of fluid secretion. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider for more personalized advice.

I'm on my 14th day after IUI and I've been taking progesterone tablets. I've noticed some white discharge. Could this be a sign of my period or maybe pregnancy? I'm wondering when I should take a pregnancy test.

The white discharge you are experiencing could be a symptom of early pregnancy. It is common to have an increase in vaginal discharge during pregnancy. To confirm whether you are pregnant or not, you can take a pregnancy test. It is recommended to wait at least 14 days after the IUI procedure before taking a pregnancy test for accurate results.
