Hi gang,

i am three days late for my period and i'm sort of freaking out. I stopped my bc pill after 10 long years in august and I have had two regualr periods, cycle 35 days apart since then. I have been taking vitex-an herb- to keep it regulated and I have been tracking my cycles on a website to see how my body is doing. I was pretty sick two weeks ago with a bacterial upper respiratory thing and was on antibitoics for 10 days, plus ealier this month I was really stressed out over some work stuff which I believe led me to getting sick. I had mid cycle cramps two weeks ago while I was sick and i've had all of the usual pms signs for the past two weeks, but no period. I know i'm not pg, my husband was fixed last year, but i'm still freaking a little cause when I was younger, I would skip a lot then have a bad period when I finally did get it. My last two periods were actually pretty light and I don't want to have to rely on the pill again to be regular cause I want to do this naturally- 10 years was long enough to be on synthetic hormones.

Anyway, my ? Is, is it true that sickness or antibiotics delay your ovulation therfore make you period late or skip?? I have been better for over a week now and as I said before, i've had all the pms signs just no period. Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
