Can antibiotics delay periods?
Hi
I have been having dry cough for the past 9-10 days and taking antibiotics/ mild steroids. Can the medicines delay periods? As I have been trying to conceive as well. My periods are 6 days late which has never happened before. I took a test, it came out negative for now, is it too early to test? Or are the medicines delaying it?
