I'm an unmarried girl and for the past 6 months, I've been dealing with my periods being delayed. It's been between 40 to 50 days now. I do everything like yoga and exercise, and my BMI is normal. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work in IT and sometimes have to work more than 9 hours. Could that be the reason? I'm quite confused and would appreciate some insight.

As an unmarried girl experiencing delayed periods (40-50 days) despite a normal BMI, yoga, and exercise, possible causes may include stress, hormonal imbalances, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can be triggered or exacerbated by long working hours (>9 hrs) and an IT profession's sedentary lifestyle.

I've been experiencing some clear watery discharge recently, and I'm a bit concerned. I had sex about a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy or just PMS symptoms. My period is supposed to start on April 8th. What do you think?
