Hi Divya,
Thanks for reaching out. A delayed period for two months can feel stressful, but it’s not always a cause for worry. Let’s help you understand what might be going on and what you can do next.
Common Reasons for Missed or Delayed Periods
-
Pregnancy
-
The first thing to rule out is pregnancy. Even if you’ve had partial or no symptoms, it’s still important to take a home pregnancy test or consult a gynaecologist.
-
-
Stress or Anxiety
-
Physical or emotional stress can affect the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates your menstrual cycle.
-
-
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
-
A hormonal imbalance where your ovaries may not release eggs regularly. Other signs: acne, weight gain, excess facial hair.
-
-
Thyroid Issues
-
Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can disturb your periods.
-
-
Weight Changes
-
Sudden weight gain or loss, or being underweight/overweight can affect ovulation.
-
-
Lifestyle Factors
-
Excessive exercise, poor diet, irregular sleep, or change in daily routine.
-
-
Menopause or Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
-
While menopause typically starts in late 40s–50s, some women experience early menopause before 40.
-
What You Can Do Next
-
Book a consultation with a gynaecologist to:
-
Do a physical and pelvic exam
-
Get blood tests (hormones, thyroid, PCOS panel)
-
If needed, get an ultrasound scan to check for ovarian cysts or uterine issues
-
-
Track your symptoms:
-
Are there any changes in weight, hair growth, acne, mood, or sleep?
-
Any abdominal pain, bloating, or breast tenderness?
