i was currently diagnosed with lyme s disease and am being treated with doxycycline. i have been on it for 13 days. i am wondering if it can delay your period? i NEVER go past 29 days and i am on day 32...and am worried i could be pregnant...which isn t a problem necessarily except that i am on the antibiotic that can apparently cause harm to a fetus.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, antibiotic may not cause delayed menses, if it is not the pregnancy then it could be hormone changes, you have not mentioned your age because age could be the reason for delayed menses better to rule out both pregnancy and age hope this information helps.
