Antibiotics & delayed period?
Hi!
From Feb 20th to March 2nd, I had a heavy fever, severe coughing & night sweats. My doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia and prescribed levofloxacin. Levofloxacin was taken from 02/24 to 03/02. I was supposed to be ovulating from 02/23 to 03/01, peak time being around the 28th. My period was due on 03/14 and it still has not arrived. I have taken two pregnancy tests which came out negative.
I haven't had sex since March of 2013 but my significant other and I messed around on 03/05 and I grinded naked along his private area where there was some pre-***. He had urinated prior to this so I imagine whatever sperm was left in there from before was flushed out with the urine.
Is it possible that the pneumonia, fever and/or antibiotics could have delayed my period?
I've also been going through a great deal of emotional stress.
