Hi. my period is 9 days late. i've had bad period cramps that comes and goes. i have starting cutting out sugars about a month ago as i was diagnosed pre diabetics and started taking iron supplements. could this be the cause for a late period?

Maybe not, and...: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… A visit to one’s Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.
