Ginger and turmeric will not stimulate your menstrual cycle
Up to 37 day cycle is considered normal
Wait for two more days
If still no periods and pregnancy test is negative you can connect for a prescription to help you get your period

Periods can be delayed sometimes due to lifestyle changes and stress factors.
Taking ginger and turmeric will not stimulate your periods,it all depends on the day of ovulation.
