Hello, Periods can sometimes be a little early or a little late. The normal range is between 21 to 35 days. If they fluctance a few days that can be normal. The medication you are taking is a NSAID which is similar to ibuprofen, however it does not usually effect the timing of your period. Hope this help. If you are still concerned, please reach out and see an Ob/gyn.
