I had my periods on 20 Sep 2016. On 25 Sep, 2016, I had protected sex. After that, I did not get intimate with my partner until we had sex again on 23 Oct. My periods were already delayed by three days then. And now it's 13 Nov and I still see no signs of periods. I took a home pregnancy test on 10 Nov but it came negative. Should I be worried? Why are periods delayed?

Emotional factors like stress, fear, anger, etc can cause hormonal imbalance, affecting your menstrual cycle days. Kindly remain calm.

Hello, The periods may be delayed due to progesterone imbalance if pregnancy is ruled out. You may opt for a withdrawal bleed with progesterones.
