A member asked:

It has been almost 8 weeks since i have had my period. i am not sexually active so what could cause my period to be delayed? i am 5'10 197 lbs.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not abnormal: It is not abnormal to have an irregular period. So as long as no pregnancy. Just wait and see if the period regulates itself
