My last period, i took high dose of vita c i was told it would jump-start my period cuz it was light, now i'm a few days late for my new period, could the high doses of vitamin c during my period last month thrown off my cycle?

Late for period: Would check HCG, may be homonal variation but if active would check HCG. May also be thyroid issues f/u/ w/ doc check HCG

Not by much,: I don't think. Your body is such a finely integrated machine that I would be reluctant to say it couldn't have ANY affect. Just like even minor illnesses, disruptions in sleep, travel and stress can all impact your period. But water soluble vitamin C, for which any excess is flushed out of your system, should not have had much of an impact. I suggest normal cycle variability. Stay well:)
