any medication, stress or pregnancy can cause you to be late or not have a period at all. So try to stop stressing about being late, then think about how long you've been taking those antibiotics and if wheather or not they have always made you late, if the answer is no and you've stop stressing, then Congratz you might be pregnant. Go seee a doc about a pregnancy test.

I would suggest that if you do not have a period with in the next week, purchase a home pregancy test.  I suspect that you are going to have your period, but your body is just going threw some changes, so it feels different.  Also, if you were recently treated for a yeast infection, and you took antibiotics for that, it could have an impact.  Hopefully your doctor explained to you that when taking anti biotics, you need to use a second form of birth control for a month, as your birth control pill (if you take them) very well not  work.  Good Luck!

This website suggests that you should be fine taking tylenol (acetomenophin) and minocycline:\nhttp://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-8073-MINOCYCLINE+-+ORAL.aspx?drugid=7722&drugname=Minocycline\n\nHowever, there is nothing wrong with calling the pharmacist that distributed your antibiotics to be safe. Your pharmacist would be more of an expert than I am.\n\nNote: this website does caution that this is one of those antibiotics that can make birth control less effective.

first of all stress can make you late or not even start..second of all with all the other meds and birth control  that might of slowed you down..i wouldn't sweat it you are probably not prego..but don't worry about it, or you may be late next month..

what it has to do with is the change in hormones around the time of your period, if it is really bad and you really want to do something about it you can talk to your doctor about going on birth control to try and help balance your hormones alittle better, I am on bc to balance mine for migraines that is how I know that hormones go haywire and cause headaches around your period. Some other things to know is that caffeine will help deliver any medications you take because caffeine thins your blood so it goes into your bloodstream faster and better, just know you don't need allot just a glass of soda or a cup of coffee will do the trick. Also try and stay away from nitrates around that time of the month which are found in things like white potatoes, hot dogs and sausages, processed lunch meats, and sharp cheeses. I hope this info helps Oh and before I forget try Alieve I think it works wonders way better than the others.

Sounds like you could have had a little flu bug. I am on Yazmin and with taking how you are suppose to you should be fine. While I have been on it, it has shortened my periods but just to make sure I would take a test before taking another pill.

Several things can make you late besides the obvious one.\nStress, taking medication (colds, infections,  ect.) New type of birth control.  or ...What we use to call "staking" your BC pills to skip (prolong having a period) Or there could be a number of more serious illnesses. Advise female friend to see her Dr.

I just answered a similar question for someone else. I'll paste the answer below. Also...Excedrin now puts out "Excedrin Migraines". I've found that on the rare migraine I get now...it helps a lot! \n\nAnyway, here is how I finally stopped getting migraines so frequently:\n\nMigraines are caused by fluctuating hormones. I've suffered from them terribly! I finally found a doctor who gave me this advice...and it's very rare now that I get them! :)\n\nHe told me to stay away from the following foods for a week before my period is due..and until my period stops:\n\nOnions, caffeine, chocolate, red wine, cheeses, foods with electrolytes and nitrates (such as gatorade, bacon, ham, processed meats), nuts, dried fruit and yogurt.\n\nSounds like there is nothing left to eat..but you manage to find things when the alternate is those AWFUL migraines.\n\nI hope this helps you too!

This happens to me all the time between periods. It's nothing to worry about, but no, it's not your period! (unfortunately, lol) I also experience cramping up to a week before I start or even longer if I am stressed out as stress causes my period to be late. It has to do with hormonal changes and ovulation. \n\nTake some ibuprofen and a multivitamin and you should hopefully feel much better. :)\n\n*edit* As other answerers have said, you could also be pregnant! If you are sexually active and this is not normal for your body it's worth looking into. But i'm a virgin and I have these symptoms all the time, obviously i'm not pregnant, so it might not necessarily be that.

Yes, you could be.  You could also be exhibiting false symptoms if you're at all anxious about it.  This could also cause your period to be late.  Don't jump to conclusions yet; give it a another couple of weeks.

I've never had that happen.  Usually my period doesn't start until Thursday of my patch free week.

I also have bad migraines, when I was younger I had them once a onth and it usually lasted 2 or 3 days.  After I started my period it bacames less, thanfully.  I throw up all day when I hjave a migraine, I also have numbness and a ringing in my ears that drives me crazy!  I have the constand need to turn my head and look over my shoulder, I have the impression that it makes me feel better, but it really doesn't.  \nI have taken serc, paracetamol, Migraleve, metoclopramide etc etc etc!!!!\nI went to the chiropractor, massage therapist, tried many medications and nothing works. Some of my triggers are chocolate, onions, caffeine and super loud noise, but sometimes I can eat those things and nothing happens, so I really don't know how it works.\n\nI don't know of any support groups but maybe you can search on the internet or ask at the doctor's office.  ANd I know what you mean about feeling alone, when I try to explain why I can't go out, no one seems to understand.  They all say " you look fine to me! just a little tired!" yeah right, a little tired, it's horrible!!!!!!!  But good luck, and just know that there are people who understand.

I was on it about 3 months ago for 5 days and had a normal period when it was over (actually alot lighter than normal). I would get in to see your dr. immediately! Don't let them give you the run around!!

There are many factors that can make a period late including pregnancy, medication, stress, hormonal imbalance, just to name a few.\nIf you feel that you are pregnant the best thing to do would be to to wait until 2 weeks after a missed period, and have your doctor perform a pregnancy blood test as this is more accurate.  If it comes out negative, then your doctor can do further testing to determine the cause.

If you suffer from serious migranes and excedrin, tylenol, or advil don't work. Go to your physican and get a prescription for Imitrex. It's like a super pill. You're migrane is gone in about a 1/2 hour. I've been on them for a few years, and my migranses have gone from every 2 days and having to go to the hospital for a pain med. drip to having maybe 2 migranes a month and all I have to do is pop an IMITREX drink 2 glasses of water and relax for 45 minutes

Yeah, I get them! I found a medication that works for me. It's called Amerge and is from the triptan family that Imitrex is from (though imitrex did NOT work for me). I suggest you keep a diary for a few months. Write down what you eat, what your activities are, and if you come into contact with strong perfumes, etc. Also record your migraines with time, strength, duration, symptoms, etc. Often people have more than one type of migraine. This will help you figure out what triggers your migraines. Take the journal to your physician!!!

no , generally antibiotics used for STDs do not have effect on hormonal sysem and can not change regular menses.
