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 experiencing an odd itching feeling inside my cervix, especially after I pee. It feels like there's something else that needs to come out, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?

The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.

I'm currently on my first round of letrozole and tested positive for pregnancy on cycle day 37. I've got an appointment on Friday, but I'm feeling a bit worried. I've been having period-like cramps for a few seconds when I walk or get up from the bed or sofa. Sometimes I feel some pain around my ovaries and even some uterine pain after I pee for a few seconds. Is this normal in early pregnancy?
