hiii Shikha,
You are 22yrs and not having intercourse for last 2 months. You have missed period of 20 days from right date.
First of all,you do a home pregnancy test with urine immediately to exclude chance of pregnancy.
One month delayed period is no significant until persistent delayed/irregular. You may suffer from OLIGOMENORRHOEA and need to investigate properly.
** OLIGOMENORRHOEA:
It is defined as infrequent period and delay of several months in between and more common in pubertal girls.It is mostly due to inadequate maturation of H-P-O axis and inadequate hormonal stimulation.
The cycle are often anovulatory in first 1-2 yrs.Gradually full development of normal ovulatory cycle and it will not have any harmful effect in future fertility.
Several Causes:
1)Mental & physical stress like vigorous exercise, emotional upset
2)Anorexia nervosa-if wt less than 47kg,
3)Hypothyroidism
4)PCOD with over wt.
If period is irregular or delaying more than 2 months, you need to do a USG,Thyroid function test,FSH/LH and prolactin level and consult to your gynaecologist.
Along with maintain a healthy diet,control wt and regular light exercise.
It is better to wait this month before taking any intervention.
All the best. If you need extra consultation,then contact with me,my id: soumenmmch@gmail.com
