Periods can get delayed by any number of days, from 30 days to 6 weeks. If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. Any delay more than it is considered abnormal.

Question

My wife gave birth to our baby boy nearly two months ago, and just recently, I've noticed she's had a couple of nosebleeds and her right eye looks red. Could this be something serious? Should she see a gynecologist, or is it better to consult an ENT or an eye doctor? Also, is it okay for her to continue breastfeeding? I'm really looking forward to some guidance here.

Question

I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
