A member asked:

What are the causes other than pregnancy for delayed periods? i am still a virgin.if it is because of stress what are the ways to induce menstruation?

Stress or PCOS: Stress can delay a cycle, as can thyroid problems or pcos. Your doctor can give a prescription for a progesterone, called a Progesterone challenge, to try to bring on a cycle.
