What Does Missed Periods While On Birth Control Suggest?

I m 39 yoa. I take birth control and levothroxine for thyroid. I m a powerlifter, too. I m cutting carbs and taking herbalife protein shakes. I m still eating healthy, about 1,700 calories per day. I m 240 pounds, but started out at 250 about three weeks ago. I m two weeks late on my period. I m usually on time because of the birth control. Pregnancy test is negative. Last time I was cutting weight two years ago - 235 to 222 - I had weird periods, too. But I wasn t using herbalife protein. Should I be concerned? I m also on their multi-vitamins.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some hormonal disturbance at this age might have delayed period.
Having thyroid problem also might cause this problem as well.
Wait for few days, if you donot get period then consult Gynaec and get examined.
Ok and take care.
