Can folic acid delay the onset of menstruation?

Folic acid does not affect the length of a woman's menstrual cycle. A delay in menstruation can be caused by various factors such as illness, stress, fatigue, or changes in routine. It is recommended to take a pregnancy test every few days until a positive result is obtained or menstruation occurs. If the delay is twice the length of your usual cycle, it is advised to consult a doctor as a precaution.
