I started ground flaxseed and period did not come. already 5 days late. i used 1tbps per day for 4 days. and stopped. i am concerned. what should i do?

Pregnancy test: It's pretty unlikely that the flaxseed had anything to do with your period being late. If you haven't done so already, do a pregnancy test. If you are having sex, pregnancy is the most likely cause of a late period.
