My period is 8 days late, is this due to COVID?

Hello Madam, thank you for your question!

Although the situation may seem quite unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem at this time. A delay in menstruation can occur following an episode of illness (or vaccination), stress, great fatigue, change of schedule, or even without any identifiable reason. It usually goes away on its own.

Having said that, are you taking hormonal contraception? Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Thanks for the feedback!

I suggest doing a pregnancy test every 2-3 days with morning urine until a positive result or until menstruation occurs.

I would love to! I will remain available if there is anything!

Good morning, Mrs,

8 to 10 days late is not in itself a reason to consult, especially considering that you have a history of irregular menstrual cycle.

As mentioned above, an episode of illness, not just COVID, can delay the onset of menstruation. It is suggested that you consult if the situation has persisted for a month (in your case, it would be mid-August)

Having said that, I would like to mention that it can take several months to conceive and that some people need up to 12 months

With pleasure, good day to you too and good continuation!
