Questionbut my period is delayed for two weeks now, is this normal? the doctor gave me some pills to 'induce' my menstruation, but there are still no signs. by the way, i am my partner's first sex partner, so i guess you can rule STD out. i would be very grateful if you can elaborate more on this delayed menstruation thing. thank you so much.

Question -
i missed last month's period which was due on the 26th of august. the last time i had sex was about one and a half months ago. i did three home tests, and all of them turned out negative. are these tests kits reliable? could the delay be caused by something not related to pregnancy? i had high fever about a week ago and i do not have stress.
thank you.

Hello Aby.
Home test are very accurate. If you are unsure of your partner, I would be a little concered of an STD since you had the high fever.
Being ill can delay your period so whatever caused the fever (cold or std etc) could cause the delayed period as well.
Good luck to you.
Answer I am glad STD's are not a worry in your case. I never know the "status" of those that ask me questions.
Delayed menstration can be caused by a number of different things.
Stress, medication, illness, change in diet (weight loss or gain), are to name a few.
You must remember that stress is more than something that is bothering you such as a death in the family or problems at work.
Stress can be something you wanted like a new job or a new baby.
Hope this helps, good luck!
