Question 1

think i have a yeast infection.. between that and being run down from being sick, could that make my period late?

Accepted Answer

Being run down: & sick may cause your period to be delayed. It is not likely that a yeast infection delayed your period. Of course pregnancy is another possible reason.

Question 2

late period
2 negative home tests
yeast infection.
am i pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 3

i have a yeast infection, my period is late, had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago but got a negative pregnancy result. why is my period late?

Accepted Answer

May repeat: pregnancy test and see your doctor for treatment of yeast infection and get checked for other causes of delayed periods beside pregnancy

Question 4

hoping you can tell me, is day late period and yeast infection a sign of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Well...: Yeast infections are more frequent during pregnancy but are not a indicator for pregnancy. A later period may be due to pregnancy and merits a pregnancy test.

Question 5

does yeast infections make your period late?

Accepted Answer

No : Yeast infections don't affect the hormones that control cycles.

Question 6

might having a yeast infection make your menstrual period late?

Accepted Answer

No: Normally a yeast infection does not effect the timing of your period.

Question 7

i think i have a yeast infection, i am 17 and my period on my period tracker says im 3 days late. can that mess it up or is it because im still young?

Accepted Answer

Both possible: Although simple vaginal yeast infections should generally not delay your period, there are dozens of reasons why this may occur, including just being upset that you have yeast infection, or that you have not yet developed a stable menstrual pattern.  Would not worry.  This should straighten itself out without treatment.

Question 8

i had a yeast infection about a week and a half ago. it's been treated and is gone but now my period is 8 days late. i took a test and it was negative?

Accepted Answer

Late period: Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; Over-exercising (endurance athletics), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives &amp; other meds, Illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems (i.e., PCOS). Pregnancy is #1 reason.

Question 9

recently had a yeast infection now my period is late. is this normal? i am normally pretty regular with my cycle! kinda nervous...

Accepted Answer

Take pregnancy test: Reasons for missed/late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problems (i.e. PCOS). #1 reason is pregnancy.  Yeast should not delay a period.

Question 10

ive been over 2 weeks late in 2 period cycle this year and before both times i have developed a yeast infection. is this maybe hormonal imbalance?

Accepted Answer

Yes : likely caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome/insulin resistance. Causes an increase in yeast infections, can be prediabetic, delays and interferes with regular ovulation. Testing and treatment can decrease the problems, and improve regular ovulation, lowering risks of diabetes.
