Delayed period
I started taking Doxy 1 as a part of acne treatment from may 2016. Period delayed by 5 days in may, by 3 days in june and now again in july, delayed by 5 days though I am feeling normal cramps as I always do prior to my periods Can this delay be due to the medicine? Please suggest what should I do. I have never experienced irregular periods before this.

Hi.... In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, mentrual irregularities occurs..
Periods can be delayed for a single cycle or it can be delayed in every cycle. If the delay is in only a single cycle, the most likely cause is a temporary cause like stress.
