A member asked:

Does skipping a period one month, delay it for the next month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Skipping a single period may just be an "off" month (if you are not pregnant.) if you often have irregular periods, or start skipping more periods, it would be wise to see your gynecologist for some hormonal tests.
