A member asked:

I am 42 and have had my tubes tied for 13 years. my cycle is 17 days late and i am not pregnant. what could be the issue? i have a few small fibroids

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No ovulation: the most common cause for a late or missed cycle is that the ovulation did not occur. skipped cycles are usually of no clinical importance. should you not have a period for 3 months you should have a hormonal evaluation to determine the cause. fibroids usually cause excessive bleeding rather than missed periods.
