Missing a period can be confusing, especially when you’re dealing with conditions like PCOS. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is known to cause irregular periods because it affects the hormonal balance in your body, which can delay or skip ovulation. This is a common reason for missed periods among those with PCOS. You’ve mentioned an unprotected sexual encounter, but since you’ve had a period since then and no further sexual activity, pregnancy is unlikely though not impossible without further testing. Stress, significant weight changes, or changes in exercise routines can also contribute to missing periods. Another reason might be an underlying hormonal imbalance, not directly related to PCOS, such as thyroid issues. It might be worth taking a home pregnancy test just for peace of mind, but I’d focus more on evaluating other factors if you consistently have irregular periods. Monitoring your cycle can help track patterns, especially since PCOS can sometimes make regularity more challenging. If this is a recurring issue or if you’re concerned, consulting your healthcare provider for more targeted diagnostic tests and possibly adjusting your treatment for PCOS might be beneficial. They can look into whether your current management strategy needs a change like adding medications that help regulate cycles, or lifestyle modifications that might improve hormone balance.
