I've noticed my period is 15 days late, and my cycle is typically 28 days like clockwork. This is the first time I've experienced this delay, and I'm a bit worried. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

Causes_ 1. *Hormonal Imbalance*: Changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can disrupt your menstrual cycle. 2. *Stress*: Physical or emotional stress can affect hormone production, leading to late periods. 3. *Weight Changes*: Significant weight gain or loss can impact hormone production and menstrual cycles. 4. *Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)*: A hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods. 5. *Thyroid Issues*: An underactive or overactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) can affect menstrual cycles. 6. *Other Medical Conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, pituitary tumors, or premature ovarian failure, can also cause late periods. _Diagnostic Tests_ 1. *Pregnancy Test*: To rule out pregnancy as a cause for late periods. 2. *Thyroid Function Tests*: To check for thyroid hormone imbalances. 3. *Hormone Level Tests*: To assess estrogen and progesterone levels. 4. *Pelvic Examination*: To check for any abnormalities in the reproductive organs. 5. *Ultrasound*: To evaluate the ovaries and uterus. _Treatment Options_ 1. *Hormonal Medications*: To regulate hormone levels and induce menstruation. 2. *Birth Control Pills*: To regulate menstrual cycles and reduce androgen levels. 3. *Fertility Medications*: To stimulate ovulation and menstruation. 4. *Lifestyle Changes*: Maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, and exercising regularly. _Advice_ 1. *Consult a Gynecologist*: To determine the underlying cause of your late period and receive personalized guidance. 2. *Keep a Menstrual Diary*: To track your periods, symptoms, and any changes. 3. *Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle*: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques.

I'm a bit concerned after finishing my medication with the abortion pill because I'm 4 weeks pregnant and it's been 3 days since I took the misoprostol, but I've only had some spotting and not much bleeding. Does this mean the abortion process isn't complete? I also still feel mild cramps like I'm on my period sometimes. Could you help clarify this for me?

After 48 hrs of taking Mesoprostol,you will see proper clots falling out,if at all those were not seen,only spotting is noted,thatis incomplete abortion,get a scan done for fetal viability and visit gynaecologist for appropriate approach

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
