A member asked:

Hi is it normal to be late for a period by 4 days

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy test.: Periods are usually very predictable and regular. If you're four days late, and have been sexually active, then you should complete at least one urine pregnancy test with a first morning urine sample. If not sexually active, then wait and see if it arrives. If you miss two periods and are not pregnant, then see Gynecologist.
