I am not married and have never had sexual intercourse, but my period has been delayed for 60 days. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed folic acid and iron tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, but my period still has not started. I do not have thyroid or hormonal problems. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

If hormones are normal, it may be due to stress, PCOS, or low weight. Do TSH, FSH, LH, and Pelvic USG. Avoid skipping meals and track cycles.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a FSH and LH Test Test

My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?

Doctor I have 11 days late period and two negative pregnancy tests. What is the main reason doctor? Can you please suggest me some?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I usually have irregular periods, sometimes as infrequent as once in 15 days. I consulted a doctor, who examined my reports and mentioned an initial stage of PCOD, prescribing medication for 2 months. After taking the medicines, my periods were normal. My first period after marriage was normal, but now the same problem has returned. I have taken a pregnancy test, and it is negative.
