A member asked:
Can adding new supplements like b12 or cinnamon that support metabolism to my diet cause a missed period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: These supplements are not known to cause a missed period. If you are sexually active you could be pregnant but missing periods is not uncommon for other reasons such as stress ; nutrient deficiencies. Home pregnancy tests are inexpensive (even found at dollar stores) and widely available so you can find out if you are pregnant within minutes. There is no need to stay in doubt about this.
