I also used to take ibeprofen on a daily basis but have recently stopped due to it hurting my stomach. Could these be the reason my period is late? I have had sex this month and during I was ovulating, but I also used a conform and he always pulled out

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Laxative and ibuprufen does not cause delayed period. So be relax and avoid stress as it causes delayed period. You have to worried if period will late after 7-10 days.Other causes of late period are: stress, change in life style, change in eating habit, hormonal imbalance, thyroid disorder, ovarian dysfunction. So if period will delayed you should consult the gynecologist and rule out the above causes after proper investigations. Start exercise, take healthy diet, take fruits like papaya, orange and pine apple.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
