Can clindamycin effect my period?

I started taking the pills April 5th, 2018, I had to take 4 pills a day for 5 days. I was supposed to get my period the 6th of April. I stopped taking the pills on the 10th at like 11:00pm. I’m currently 9 days late on my period. I’ve been sexually active since January but I’ve got my period for the previous months and it’s protected sex. I don’t have any pregnancy symptoms, I’ve been getting cramps though since the 10th. The cramps range from little ones to big ones. Also I’ve been reading about if it would effect my period and most girls said they were late on their period too when taking Clindamycin. Can somebody please tell me if this is normal????

Anything that messes up the apple cart (or our hormonal system) can cause periods to be late.  New medication, stress, illness changes in weight such as losing or gaining, changes in routine can all effect period.  Since you've been great and had responsible, protected sex, I would not worry about pregnancy.
