hi!
i'm 26 years old and i used to have regular cycles (28 days), but from 2 months i'm taking a cure for acne which is "curacné" and my 1st period after the 1st take was 2 days late and here's my second which is about 5 days late and still no signs of pregnancy or for the coming period except gases in the stomach (sorry)...
How should i deal with that? :-/

Hi!
If you were my patient, the best advice I could give you is to start an oral contraceptive to regulate your cycles and to prevent pregnancy while you are taking Curacne.  The medication can produce severe birth defects and therefore it is imperative to prevent pregnancy while your a using the product.
Oral contraceptive pils would also regulate your periods.
Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the answer!
Well the doctor gave me Diane 35, but I should start it on the begining of the period..I just don't know if I should wait a little or do a blood test as soon as possible?
