Is it possible that drinking water can reduce my period?

Question

I have a two day delay in my period (really not my habit and a little spotting the first day but nothing since). I've had a hormonal IUD for 2 years and I recently started drinking more water than I used to (2.5L and before I only had one glass of water a day). Could there be a link?

Good morning, Madam, A delay can occur without indicating any problems, for example following an episode of illness (or vaccination), stress, fatigue, change of schedule or even without any detectable reason. I suggest that a pregnancy test be done first to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. I would like to point out, however, that women who wear a hormonal IUD may not have bleeding periods or may have them less frequently. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
