"Delay in my period?"

It is normal for some people to experience a delay in their menstrual cycle. This can be caused by changes in schedule, lifestyle habits, unusual fatigue or stress, or even minor illnesses like a cold. Sometimes, delays can happen for no apparent reason. If your cycle is usually regular and you suspect a possible pregnancy, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test to rule out this possibility. If pregnancy is not a concern or the test comes back negative, it is advisable to wait a week. If a second test is negative but menstruation is still delayed, it is recommended to consult a medical professional.
