DELAYED PERIOD

A delayed period occurs when your menstrual cycle doesn’t start at the expected time. While pregnancy is the most common cause, delayed periods can also result from stress, hormonal imbalance, weight changes, contraceptives, illness, or lifestyle factors. In most cases, it’s temporary, but it can be frustrating, confusing, or worrying. Our UK pharmacy offers safe, regulated, and confidential Period Delay Services using clinically approved medications such as Norethisterone and Medroxyprogesterone, following a short health assessment by our clinicians.

Common non-pregnancy causes of period delay include:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Travel or major routine changes
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Excessive exercise
  • Low or high body weight
  • Breastfeeding 
  • Perimenopause
  • Certain medications

If your period is late and not caused by pregnancy, our pharmacists can help identify whether a treatment is appropriate for you.
