A member asked:
How does being sick prior to your period, make it late? how will it know when to come? and how long does it take for it to come after being sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Just as emotional stress can interfere with ovulation, so can the stress of physical illness. Once those changes resolve, ovulation will occur and your period will come again. When that will happen varies from person to person and from illness to illness. Hope this helps some.
