What Causes Delayed Periods After Suffering From UTI?

I was supposed to start my period on the 2nd if December but it has yet to come. I was dealing with a UTI at the same time too. But usually when I get one at the same time nothing is affected?? I ve taken 2 pregnancy tests? Should I take another I m on day 44 of my cycle now. I have never been this late. I also have been off of BC since May.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

There are numerous causes for a delay in period other than pregnancy and I shall go ahead and list some of the most common ones for you:

+Infections: As mentioned by you, and they do not even have to be related to the reproductive system
+Stress
+Medications: Of any kind
+Getting on birth control or getting off them
+Sexual intercourse itself (although rarely)
+Conditions (e.g. polycystic ovaries)
and a few others

As based on the information provided, you already have 2-3 of the causes (i.e. infection, getting off BC and the stress of not having your period). Please seek medical attention for your infection (i.e. antibiotic coverage).

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
