How long will it be before I see my doctor without a period?

Question

I stopped all contraception in September 2022, we have been using condoms ever since. On December 29, 2022 I took the morning after pill as advised by my pharmacist. My period started from January 5th to 10th and since then I haven't had it... but since I stopped all oral contraception and intramuscular injection I normally have my period every two months. Actually I don't know what is considered late if I haven't had my period for 2 months and my last period was from January 5th to 10th. So when should I start to worry?

Hello ma'am, if I understand correctly, your period is now 2 weeks late? Thank you for the information. Your situation is a bit out of the ordinary considering that you mention that you have your period every 2 months. In this light, a delay of 2 weeks, which seems to be the case now, may not necessarily indicate a problem. 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 you take a pregnancy test first to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If your pregnancy test is negative, it is suggested that you take a test every 3 days or until: A positive result is obtained, or The occurrence of your menstrual period. If the absence of menstruation continues for another month and your tests remain negative, you should see a doctor. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
