    I read about health benefits of Flax seed and started having abt 1 spoon of ground flax seed everyday for a month now and noticed the period is getting delayed by 4 days (am not preggo). I have been having very regular 28 day period cycle. Would anyone know whether flax seed powder affects the menstrual cycle, if yes then for the above dosage, when can i expect my period? rather, is there something i can do to reverse it and get my period soon? if i stop having flax seed, will the cycle be back to normal? does it affect the ovulation cycle as well?

    I tried to search the web and there are articles suggesting that flax increases the menstrual cycle. But I am late and i have a religious function in family next month, so i dont know what to do next! i am having papaya and sesame seeds! are there anymore home remedies?

    Admin Note: Here are some interesting threads on flax seeds

    Having a small teaspoon of ajwain (thyme/oregano seeds) with a little salt (for taste) really helps. Down it with a glass of water. Do this 3-4 days before the due date of your period. Works like magic for me.
