A member asked:

I am sexually inactive girl.m periods has delayed by 7 days this month and has not started yet.what could be the possible reason..please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Late: Since pregnancy is not an issue, I recommend just waiting at this time. Some irregularity in the menstrual cycle is not that uncommon. See a gynecologist if your period doesn't start in the next week or if spotting occurs or if you have any pelvic discomfort.
