I've noticed that my menstrual cycle is delayed by two days, which has never happened to me before. I'm wondering how much of a delay in periods is considered normal and if there might be any reasons behind this change.

I've been dealing with a bartholin cyst that's gotten way bigger in the last 3 days and it's making sitting and moving really uncomfortable. This is the third time in 2 years but it usually goes away on its own this time it's much worse. I read about surgical draining but want to avoid that if possible. What can I do to ease this and why do these keep happening?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm really curious about Acutret. I heard it's used for contraception and that it makes it difficult or maybe even impossible to conceive while on it. Can you tell me what kind of complications might come with taking Acutret? Like, are there any side effects I should be worried about if I'm considering this medication?

Thats not a contraceptive and is used for healthy looking skin,not related to your concern
