If your period has already been late by 3 months and you have already ruled out the possibility of pregnancy, then it would be advisable to see a doctor for this as soon as possible.

This is so that we can do further investigations to rule out other causes of a delayed period.

You may also be given medications to induce your periods as a prolonged time of not getting your period can potentially lead to an unhealthy womb lining.
