Dear Melanie,

I’m not a doctor, I’m just a writer who specializes in health and wellness topics! Even if I was a doctor, I couldn’t give you medical advice over the internet. You need an in-person medical exam to find the exact cause of your skipped period.

That said, however, I do know that prescription medications can affect menstrual cycles. Since you’re get irregular periods already, I would think that it’s just another delay — especially since your pregnancy tests are negative!

Have you researched how Amoxicillin affects hormones and menstruation? I suspect your body is reacting to that medication, and you’ll get your period after your body adjusts to the meds.

That’s just my two cents, though — to get medical advice, you really should see your doctor in person!

Blessings,
Laurie

Dear Dr;
I have missed my period for about 8-9 days now, and I have taken 4 pregnancy tests- all resulting a clear and quick negative. The Tuesday before I was “scheduled” to start my period I went to the pediatric for a sinus infection, and was perscribed Amoxicillin. Since then I haven’t had any signs of pregnancy. Usually when I am about to start my period my breast get tender by touch, which they are. I have had irregular periods since I started.

I personally want to thank you for this wonderful information. This would in no small measure help to improve the phobia of some people about their health.Many are conscious of their health and wellbeing. It is my opinion that people will take advantage of this to better improve their health and have rest of mind on activity level in relation to their reproductive health matters.
I appreciate this a lot as a specialist in reproductive health.

Sometimes figuring out the exact cause of irregular periods is difficult, but it would help immensely if we lived as cleanly as possible (including avoiding harmful plastics and taking prescription medications only when absolutely necessary).

While medications and illness can affect ovulation, it is also important to consider the importance of pollutants in our food and water. Many chemicals like Bisphenol A from plastic water bottles are known to mimic hormones and alter hormone levels in our bodies. Given the complexity of the reproductive process, these external factors are also very important.
