Delayed periods
Last month my period was delayed by 10 days, and this month too my period is 5 days late. Almost 2 years back I had a similar problem and after a consultation with doctor and taking a medicine called "Regestrone 5 mg" my period was back to normal again.
I didn't have an abnormal weight gain or loss, can it be just hormonal imbalance?
I have also taken some strong allergy medication called "defcort 6" for a month just last month, can it also be a side effect of that medication?

The reason fr the delay needs to be investigated n treated
A delay of upto 7 days is considered normal
Defcort is a steroid
Weight gain consequent to intake of this may be a reason fr the delay in periods
