Missed period and the flu
I am 4 days late of my period and I have had no signs of it. I caught a sudden cold/flu just days before I was due to have my period. I have all the symptoms of a flu but I was wondering if the flu can affect the menstrual cycle?

Flu ,fever ,and probably change of diet , physical activity may have caused a delay,however we still would want you to be clear on pregnancy only in case you have been sexually active ,by doing a urine pregnancy test,for any further information or assistance you may get back to us.
