Before, I usually have my menstration
during the last week of the month. But my
period for the month of April is delayed.
It's already May 8 and it hasn't started
yet. I am not definitely pregnant for I
haven't engage yet in any sexual
intercourse. But a month ago, ( April) I
have started taking Multivitamins daily.
What could be the reason on why my
menstration is delayed? Does the
multivitamins that I am taking has
something to do with it? Or if not, what
could be the other possible reasons?
If pregnancy is excluded, a period delay
can be due to a hormonal disturbance in
the axis hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries.
Such a disturbance can cause a lack of
ovulation and without ovulation the period
is usually delayed. Hormonal disturbances
can be due to presence of a hormone -
producing ovarian cyst. Excessive physical
or psychic stress can also cause a
menstrual delay. It doesn’t seem likely
that multivitamin supplements can cause a
delay in the period .
