I'm confused!!! Can a yeast infection cause AF to be late? I'm almost a week late and have an occasional vaginal itching. I took an FRE this morning with FMU and it was neg. Has anyone else had this happen to them?? I don't have any other symptoms of YI.

The last time I was pregnant, I had a yeast infection. I had called my doc, and asked if that was the cause of my period being late. I was told that, No, a yeast infection can not cause your period to be late, and that I should buy a test and take it the following morning. Turns out I was pregnant. Now, I'm experiencing some itching again, I'm not on antibiotics right now (they give me YI), so I know it's not that. It may be a bit too early for the test to pick up your HCG levels... try again in a few days. I also had a negative test last night, so I'll be re-testing on Saturday.

Good luck! I hope you get an answer soon!

well for me i knew i had a slight YI coming on so i called the dr. to get that pill to clear it up. she wanted to see me 1st cuz i was due for my yearly exam. come to find out, i was pregnant....(just barely 3 weeks) and that is what caused the YI in the 1st place. i had no idea that i was pg, but my dr. told me that it is very common to get a YI when you are 1st pg, cuz of all the changes your body is going through. to answer your guestion...i am not sure, but i would say no...that a YI won't make your period late.

so good luck~
