Missing Period on VLCD and medication
I was on a VLCD for two weeks but have come off it and I am eating about 1,200 kcal a day from only having 600-800kcal. My period is over 8 days late. I did spot but it was not much and lasted less than 2 days. I have taken a negative pregnancy test but just a bit worried!!!
I have also injured my back and been on diazapam and cocodamol for less than a week

Because of a very low calorie diet plus your injury and medicines, you have missed your periods. If you are not worried about pregnancy, you can simply wait for another 2-3 weeks. It’s not a big issue. It’s always better to wait a while for periods to come spontaneously
