What causes delay in menstruation other than pregnancy?
Patient: I am 21 y.o and took oral contraceptive pills on the 14th of December. i was suppose to have my period last dec15. i am 2 weeks and 3 days delayed for my period. I tried 2 pregnancy test first thing in the morning and it came out negative. Is this accurate? Doctor: HiDr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.I have gone through your query. I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.1] Usually if oral contraceptive pills are taken regularly then periods start within 7 days of pill free period.2]As your urine tests are negative even with 2 weeks delay you are mostly not pregnant.3] As of now you have to keep watch  and wait till onset of periods. The delay in periods can be due to hormonal causes, hormones that are produced by ovaries.4] I will suggest to get USG done once you are done with periods, to look for ovarian status.I hope my answer helps you.Thanks.Wish you good health.
