A member asked:
In the past 6 months, my period has been on time one month and late (by 5-6 days) the next, it's like a pattern. what could be causing this & should i be concerned?

Menses can vary over time, and stress (emotional, school, work, COVID) can delay ovulation, which delays onset of menses. Consider low dose oral bcp's if the occasional unpredictable onset of menses causes concern.
