A member asked:

My period has delayed by 7 days. what should i do?..i am 22 years old and m not sexually active yet.what could be the reason for this delay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anovulation: If you are not on hormonal contraception, the most likely reason is not ovulating this cycle. This is common. Your next period may be heavy. If it has not come within the month go see someone. They can give you a medicine to start your period.
