Does Vitamin D3 Supplement Cause Delayed Periods?

Hi I am 28 years old. Is started taking Vitamin D3 from 10 days. My last period was on Aug 26 still now I haven't got my period. Is it because of Vitamin D3 tablets? I am also taking folic acid tablets from 3 months.
Can you please help me. I am so worried about this

Thanks for contacting with your health concern

1. when vitamin or multivitamin supplements are taken in recommended dietary allowance, they will not alter menstrual cycle, however, overdosing can cause changes in the hormones which can affect the menstrual cycle.

PS. although cause could be something else, consult your physician to seek suggestion to know why you have missed your periods, a Gynecologist would be ideal to consult, for appropriate examination/investigations, like

. UPT [urine pregnancy test]
- low thyroid [hypothyroidism]or having a high level of prolactin [hormone] can also cause the same.
- excessive stress/worry [present]
- suffering from PCOD [polycystic ovarian disease]
