Flax seed/late cycle: If you have had sexual relations after "day 10" , and your periods are usually regular (28-34 days apart) you should obtain an HCG serum test for pregnancy. If not, your period can be delayed b/c of a late ovulation, even at age "26" there are occasional variations, so the delay may be normal. Flax seeds to not have an appreciable effect on one's menstrual cycle.
