Can period be delayed by 10 days?
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.

View allI'm wondering if taking the I-pill can cause really heavy periods that go on for a week or more? I've been experiencing extremely heavy bleeding for days now, and it's definitely more intense than my usual periods. Should I be concerned about this?
Yes, I-pill can sometimes cause changes in your menstrual cycle, including heavier or prolonged periods, as it contains a high dose of hormones. If your periods are unusually heavy for several days, it might be a side effect. If it persists, its a good idea to consult a doctor.
