If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.

I'm really curious about Acutret. I heard it's used for contraception and that it makes it difficult or maybe even impossible to conceive while on it. Can you tell me what kind of complications might come with taking Acutret? Like, are there any side effects I should be worried about if I'm considering this medication?

Thats not a contraceptive and is used for healthy looking skin,not related to your concern

I've been using gestone 200 tablets vaginally since day 17 of my cycle, and now it's been 30 days without my period. I've noticed some light bleeding though. Could this mean I'm pregnant, or does gestone typically cause a delay in periods?

Hello! Gestone 200 can sometimes delay your period, as it supports the uterine lining. Light bleeding could be spotting, which sometimes happens while on progesterone. Its best to take a pregnancy test or consult your doctor to confirm whether you are pregnant.
