Late period

I'm on a 10 day cure of antibiotics due to a bad urinary infection. My period is 4 days late. Can this be caused by the antibiotics? I really don't think I could be pregnant.

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would recommend a pregnancy test.  Antibiotics usually don't affect the period, and neither does a UTI.  Late periods are common however, and don't always mean pregnancy either.
Good luck!
