Question 1

i have read that doxycycline can delay your period. are there any signs of pregnancy i should be looking for?

Accepted Answer

A positive test : Don't guess. Take a test. In today's world you do not need to wonder if you are pregnant or not based on symptoms. Pregnancy tests are available at any pharmacy and in minutes you will have your answer. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period.

Question 2

can a bladder infection delay period?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: A simple UTI (urinary urgency, frequency, burning, bladder pressure/discomfort) associated with an abnormal urinalysis and positive culture (if done) would be a very unlikely cause of a delayed/late period. Possibly more likely with a severe kidney infection (fever, chills, feel sick) which affects the body as a whole. Many more likely explanations for delayed period than a uti.

Question 4

starting birth control mid cycle to delay period?

Accepted Answer

May not work: If you start the pill after you've ovulated (mid-cycle) you may not be able to delay the period.However, many drs recommend a quick-start(any day--as long as back up is used for 7 d, and unprotected sex hadn't occurred earlier in the cycle) as a good way to start birth control.30-40% of women have irregular bleeding in the first cycle, even when starting the pill on the first d. So no guarantees.

Accepted Answer

Yes: The normal range from first day to first day is 21 to 35 days. Most women are somewhere in between and usually stay with the same range.

If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.
