What are the reasons for a missed period when you are not pregnant? For most women, a missed period is often the first sign that they are pregnant. (For many women, they’re no longer wondering if it’s PMS or Pregnancy.)
But what if you’ve missed your period, and you’re not pregnant – what could be the cause or reason?
Amenorrhea – Missed Periods
The medical name for a missed period, or an absence of periods (one or more missed periods) is amenorrhea.
There are two types of amenorrhea:
- Primary amenorrhea - You’re older than 15 and you’ve never had a menstrual period.
- Secondary amenorrhea - You’ve been having normal menstrual cycles and they’ve suddenly stopped. This is the more common form of amenorrhea.
A majority of women have between 11 and 13 menstrual periods each year. Most periods are 28 days apart (this is the average length of a menstrual cycle), but a normal menstrual cycle can range between 21 and 35 days apart. A missed period, or an irregular period, should be examined in terms of what’s normal for your individual case. (Because menstrual cycles can vary, for a number of reasons, if you have a period every month, but it falls outside of this 35 day mark, you are probably fine. If your cycle is over 40 days apart, it is highly advisable that you go see a gynecologist to get checked out. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!)
When you’ve missed a period, you should first take a home pregnancy test to confirm that you are not pregnant. Missing a period can cause you a lot of stress and anxiety, so it’s important that you talk to your doctor if you’re concerned.
Unfortunately, secondary amenorrhea isn’t diagnosed until you have missed three menstrual cycles in a row. However, if you’ve missed your period, it’s possible that you’ll get one next month. Secondary amenorrhea and skipped periods often have the same causes.
* Note, if you are ever worried about your period, you should go see a gynecologist or a doctor and ask about your problems! *
Causes for Missed Period – Not Pregnancy
If you’ve missed your period, you’ll want to go to the doctor to rule out pregnancy. (You should also take a home pregnancy test to confirm that you’re not expecting.) If you’re not pregnant, your missed period may be due to the following:
1. Stress and anxiety – Stress isn’t good for your body, and it can cause you to have delayed ovulation. When you don’t ovulate at your normal time, this can mess up the regular timing of your menstrual cycle. As a result, you have a late period. Sometimes, you are so stressed that you don’t ovulate at all. So you will have a missed period that month.
Stress temporarily alters the functioning of your hypothalamus – the part of the brain that regulates your menstrual cycle. Once your stress level decreases, your periods should resume.
2. Excessive weight loss, or weight gain – Losing a substantial amount of weight, or gaining too much weight too quickly can cause you to experience menstrual problems, like a missed period or a delayed period. In order to have normal menstrual cycles, you need a specific amount of body fat. The fat cells in your body are responsible for producing estrogen, which is the female hormone that is responsible for maturing the eggs in your follicles, so that you ovulate and have a normal period every month. The balance of fat on your body is important. Not enough weight, or too much weight can cause you to have a missed period.
If you are overweight, you have too many fat cells. This can cause you to produce too much estrogen. As a result, your body may react to this excess level of estrogen like it’s birth control. You won’t ovulate; you will experience missed periods or no periods at all; and you may become infertile. This is the reason that many obese women suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Losing weight is often one of the best ways to treat PCOS and regulate your periods.
3. Contraceptives – Some women who take certain birth control pills don’t have regular periods. They can have missed periods or irregular periods. Some of the newer birth control pills (Seasonale, Yaz, Seasonique, Yasmin, and Lybrel) can change the regularity of your period (i.e. missed periods), as well as your menstrual flow when you do have your period. Unlike the traditional birth control pills, which made you take 21 days of pills with hormones and seven days of placebos (in which you experienced vaginal bleeding like with a regular menstrual period), many of these newer birth control pills contain continuous hormones. They combine smaller doses of estrogen and progestin (the synthetic form of progesterone in your body). You may have no periods at all, due to the continuous hormones, or you may have missed periods for several months in a row. For example, Seasonique and Seasonale gives you only four menstrual periods a year; Yaz gives you shorter and lighter periods that are more regular; Yasmin makes your period lighter and more regular; and with Lybrel, you have no periods at all. Once you stop using these birth control pills, it may take you between three to six months to have regular ovulation and menstruation again.
Birth control that is injected (like the Depo-Provera birth control shot) or implanted (like Implanon) can also cause you to have irregular, missed or no periods at all.
With the Depo-Provera birth control shot, it’s common for you to experience changes in your regular menstrual cycle. Many women experience irregular bleeding, spotting, and missed period with this contraceptive shot. After a year of getting regular shots, over 50 percent of women on this birth control will stop having their periods at all. This is normal side effect.
If you have Implanon, a common side effect are irregular periods, missed periods, and unpredictable menstrual cycles. Some women experience more vaginal bleeding than before they used this contraceptive. Other women experience less bleeding (such as spotting) or no periods at all. The time in between your periods may also change.
4. Breastfeeding – When you breastfeed exclusively, the hormones that are allowing lactation to occur can block ovulation and your regular menstrual cycle. Some women won’t have their period again until their baby is eating solid foods. In other women, their periods may return sooner.
5. Eating disorders – When you have excessively low body weight (i.e. you’re way too skinny), this can interfere with hormonal functions, which might stop ovulation. These abnormal hormonal changes are the reason that anorexics and bulimics often stop having periods.
When you’re too thin (due to anorexia or excessive weight loss), you don’t have enough fat cells in your body to produce enough estrogen for healthy ovulation. You don’t ovulate, and you will either have a missed period or irregular periods. (Or no periods at all).
6. Rigorous Exercise – Women who participate in activities and sports that require them to undergo rigorous training often experience skipped periods or no periods at all. The high energy expenditure, stress, and low body fat can contribute to no ovulation and missed periods.
7. Medication – There are some medications that can disrupt menstrual cycles. For example, some chemotherapy drugs, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, and oral corticosteroids can cause you to have missed periods, or no menstrual periods at all.
8. Hormonal imbalance – When you have hormonal problems, it can change the levels of hormones that your body requires to support ovulation and the menstruation process. For example, one common cause of irregular periods is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes high levels of estrogen and androgen (the male hormone), rather than fluctuating hormonal levels common to a regular menstrual cycle.
9. Problems with your thyroid – Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause you to have missed periods and other menstrual irregularities. Thyroid disorders can alter the production of the hormone prolactin. This affects your hypothalamus and disrupts your regular menstrual cycle.
10. Uterine scarring – If your uterus is scarred from disease or medical procedures, this can prevent the normal buildup and shedding of the uterine lining common to a regular menstrual cycle. As a result, you may have very light periods, or no menstrual periods at all. Your uterus can become scarred during a cesarean section, D & C procedure, treatment for uterine fibroids, or due to a health complication.
How to Cope When You Miss a Period
If you have missed your period, but you’re only a week late, try not to stress out. There’s a possibility that your period is just late. Obviously, you should take a home pregnancy test (or two or three) to ensure that you’re not pregnant.
Contact your healthcare provider and make an appointment to see your doctor. You may be asked to undergo a variety of tests and examines to pinpoint why you’ve missed your period.
Your treatment will depend on what’s causing you to miss your menstrual period. Your doctor may prescribe medication to help treat you, or he may recommend that you make certain lifestyle changes.
The bottom line is – don’t stress out if you have a missed period. Some women miss their periods now and then. Chances are your period will return next month.

Hello there, I have some curious questions to ask and it’d be a lot of help if I get my response back ASAP.
I had a sex with my boyfriend just recently for the past couple of weeks on Feb 5th. I didn’t let him go in me because I knew it was unprotected. During the moment, he asked me to go in once and stupid me, I’d let him. After he went in, I told him to pull it right out. From there I freaked out! The week went by and I began to have all these thoughts and started stressing out. My boyfriend and I would have talks about me if I was to get pregnant. I began to fear and start questioning him all these stuff and he has told me that there’s no chance of me getting pregnant because he didn’t come at all. I really don’t know. So what he did was since I was freaking out and crying, he sent me two first signal pregnancy tests. I took the first one on Feb 13 and we had it on the Feb 5. I took and it was negative. So that was a relief. I waited for my period which was suppose to come o. The Feb 23 but according to my pms tracker it said I’m 10 days late because I supposedly suppose to start to the 16th. I’m freaking out that I haven’t had my period so I took my second pregnancy test on Feb 23 and it also said I was negative. Okay I’m relief as well but yet I’m doubting it? Why’s my period delayed. Am I at a low risk of being pregnant? Is my period not coming because of me stressing out on this?
Hi, I have just had a missed period, me and.my partner were getting very excited cause we both thought I was pregnant, But 33 days and I come on, so we are both very upset. You are best to go to see your Dr hun and rule everything out but for the future sweetie try taking the pill that way your sexual partner can go inside you and you are 99% protected against pregnancy. Good luck hunni. X
Hi, I am 24 years old. I have had issues in the past with ED and anemia but I don’t anymore , in fact I have gained a good bit of weight about 30 pounds . Last year I had my period for 4 months straight (all summer) , and when I was in high school and not sexually active my body would skip periods often ( plus I weighed 84 pounds until 10th grade).
I generally menstruate between the 18th and 24th of every month, but this has not happened for me this month and it is already the 27th. Home preg. test shows negative for pregnancy . I have one child and with him I swear I had to vomit about 15 times a day the entire pregnancy. My hair fell out in patches and I had a strange pregnancy rash that left scars on me (apparently it’s very uncommon, but not unheard of) . My breasts are not at all sore, I don’t feel pregnant either. However I just don’t feel right.
Hi.. I had my last period in dec 2012, I’ve had unprotected sex on 1/3/12 and again on 2/4/12 on this same day I spotted, so two days later I took a hpt and it said Negitive, and another on 2/27/12 is it possible that I am pregnant and should do a blood test.. My I add that in January I was super stressed out, so could that be why I haven’t started, march would be 3 months with out a period, I’m one to have a regular period every single month and when I would be late I knew I was pregnant ( I have 3 kids) so this is so not normal, I don know if it’s cuz I was stressed out or what ugh! Can some one relate?!?!
I’m 30 yrs old and have 3 kids! I have had a regular cycle for over a year now and before that they were irregular sometimes but they straightened out. I’m a few days late this month so I’m starting to panic because I’m NOT wanting another pregnancy with all the complications I’ve had with my others! I usually suffer with severe anxiety almost everyday so I’m hoping that’s the reasons for not starting but I’m really worried I could be pregnant! How common is it for anxiety to be the cause of being late??
Hi,
I missed my cycle for 4 start months and then got it early last month and now again it’s been 6 weeks since I’ve had it again! My doctor said I might have a cyst… He said something with a p…polycystic or something like that?!? Do you have any idea what I’m talking about?
He is probably saying that you PCOS – polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Hi,
I’ve missed my period last cycle, and it appears I’m about to miss another one. I’m 19 years old and definitely NOT pregnant. My periods were quite regular before..so I’m trying to figure out why I’m missing periods. It’s true that I’ve lost a bit of weight, but not excessively nor unhealthily. I’ve gone from 49kg to 46kg from about the beginning of the year.
It’s probably not stress either, cos I’m currently on uni break.
I’m not exactly too worried right now…but should I be? Missing my period actually saved a lot of trouble..haha.
Any advice would be very much appreciated~!
It is possible that your weight loss may have something to do with it. But I would go see a gynecologist to really figure out what’s going on. Good luck
I have been trying for a baby for just over a year, I’m 39. I went to my doctor a year ago and she didn’t seem to think that I should come back to see her in 6 months (like all the medical people on the internet suggest if your over 35 yrs old), so I have waited the full year.
When I was on the pill my period’s lasted 7 days and very heavy on a 28 day cycle but since coming off the pill it has varied between a 26 – 28 day cycle. Since August however, the length of my period’s have reduced from 7 days to 5 days and in the last two months have only been light at 3-4 days. Last month I suspected I had a miscarriage though not 100% sure. Due to what initially felt like implantation pain then to a late period of a 10 days (my periods run like clockwork and are NEVER late), followed a really painful stabbing sensation and my period suddenly started.
The period started on the wednesday and finished on the saturday but on the following Tuesday I had spotting. It was a bright red then later pinkish but only noticed when wiping.
I normally know when my period is about to start due to a sensation in my lower abdoman that feels like a dripping tap (sorry to much info) but this month, so far nothing. My period is due but I worry that after my last period that something might be wrong. I did ovulation strips as usual but this last month the 2nd line was very faint and I seem to have ovulated really a lot earlier then usual. They say to do the strip so many days after your period and on the first day of testing was the day where the 2nd line was faint. Days after the first ovulation test got fainter still then nothing.
So now I’m late again and getting the sensation of fullness. Just taken a pregnancy test and has come up negative. I have been getting right sided lower abdominal pain since Monday (it’s Wednesday today), The pain is so aching it wakes me up in the night and I have to get up as lying down is very uncomfortable.
I really hope you can reply…….trying not to panick
Any idea’s what the cause might be and when is the best time to see my doctor, basically how late should you be before seeking medical advice? I did worry it was the early stages of the menopause but both my mother and my maternal grandmother didn’t start theirs until they were 52+ and looking on the internet, I do not seem to be experiencing any of the common symptoms.
I would go see your gynecologist to get a blood pregnancy test. The one-sided abdominal pain can be common to ovulation, or implantation cramping. Either way, go see a doctor to figure out if you are pregnant, or if your pain is due to something else. Good luck
Hi
I’m 17 and has always had a regular cycle but then this month for some reason it never came. I should have got it at least 1-2 weeks ago. I’m still a virgin but I feel soo worried… I know I can’t be pregnant but whenever I see my bloated tummy I think oh no!!
Is it normal to miss out on a period? Mum said she’s never missed one…
And I dont think I’m stressing out thatt much but Im in last year of high school.
THANK YOU.
If you are in the last year of high school, still a virgin, then I am guessing its regular school stress that is causing you to miss a period. Try not to worry too much. Your period should come soon.
Hi I am 16 years old and I am a little over weightand I have been a little stresses with school. I haven’t had my period for 3 months! What should I do??? Please help!!
Stress can cause you miss periods, but not for three months. If you are overweight, then it is possible that you have PCOS – which causes you not to ovulate. I would go see a doctor for a proper diagnosis to figure out what’s going on with your periods.
Hello there. I’m 25 years old and I am 11 days late on my period. This has NEVER happened to me. I don’t seem to have any of the “symptoms” of pregnancy, other than a missed period, and I have taken 2 home tests, both showing negative. I’m getting married next month, but I don’t feel all that stressed out about it. I felt like I was going to get my period around the time when it was due, but then it never came. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for the help.
Go see a doctor and get a blood pregnancy test.
If you are NEVER late and never misss a period, then you are probably pregnant The home pregnancy test that you took may have not been sensitive enough, or the hCG levels in your urine weren’t high enough for the HPT to be accurate. So take a blood pregnancy test at a doctors office.
I am 19in years old and missed my period for 9 months then got it in January and now I have not gotten it since then I don’t know what the problem is any ideas?
You may have PCOS, or another reproductive problem that is causing you not to ovulate. Please go see a gynecologist so that they can give you medical advice on what to do in your situation.
Hi, I am 19yrs old. I got my last period on 17th Jan which was a week late. Now it’s March and I’m about 2 weeks late. I’ve never been more than 4days late. Usually it comes a few days earlier than expected. Pregnancy is definitely out of the question. I’m getting really worried. My mum had a stroke in December. I’m not sure if I’m late because of the stress. Please give me some advice.
I am sorry about your mom. My dad also had a stroke last fall.
If pregnancy is out of the question, then your late period is definitely due to the high level of stress you are under. Try not to worry.
Hi, I’m only 14 and i have been masturbating for quite awhile. I have stopped, but my period have not come yet. The last time i had it i don’t remember. : / Sometimes during the day it gets a bit itchy down there. i did not have sex with any guys. I want to tell my mom but I’m to scared:(
And I’m afraid to go to gyn. What should i do? D:
Hi,
Masturbating has nothing to do with missed period. However, that itchiness is a sign of an infection. If you masturbated without clean hands, you can pick up all kinds of germs and disease. So I would go see a doctor and talk to them about your symptoms. Sometimes, infections can cause missed period.
You need to go see a gynecologist though! Especially if you have an infection down there.
Hi,I have missed two periods.I was on the pill before this but came off a few weeks before i was due on due to being ill on it.Ive had sex twice and use protection,when i was a month latw intoon a test it was negative,and i took one two weeks ago and it was negative..what should i do?
I would go see a doctor and get a blood pregnancy test. Also, talk to the doctor so that they can help you figure out what is going on.
hi am 20 years old and i never see my periods.in 2009 they once tried to come but it was for a day then they stopped.am i in a serious problem?
hi,
im 28 and i was expecting my period on the 2nd of march, but now its the 5th and i havent had it or even the feeling that it is going to come soon. i had sex for the first time on Feb 24 and also feb 29 (both protected but for few moments briefly the condom was taken off during insertion). we did it thinking that the ovulation dates are passed and now it would be safe to insert without protection. however, since i havent had my period as yet, im wondering if im pregnant. i plan to take a pregnancy test later today, but im not sure if these tests will detect anything so early if i were pregnant?
i was hoping to get your opinion on the same. please could you suggest if this could be pregnancy.
many thanks in advance for your response. really do appreciate your time.
thanks
janine
Hi Janine,
If you happened to ovulate later in the month (at around the normal ovulation time), there is a chance that maybe some precum (which does have sperm) came out and you could have possibly getting pregnant. However, it’s also possible that your period is just late this month – due to stress or whatever. Most home pregnancy tests can detect pregnancies on the day of your missed period, but they are actually most accurate the week after your period. The sensitivity of the test is really what counts. (I really recommend – First Response Early Result http://amzn.to/xoGkEF since it has very low sensitivity and can predict pregnancy even before ) But anyway, I think that whatever test you choose, you should definitely test. It’s possible that your period is late, but there is also a chance that you might be pregnant.
Hope that helps,
DP

Hi im 23, i came off the pill in 6th sept i had two bleeds then since then iv had a period on the 28th-31st of each month but was due on them dates in feb but as of yet nothing. I had unprotected sex in sept but i was on the pill and that was months ago. I have lost about a stone over the 3months so its not a rapid decrease in weight. I was thinking of going to my GP on friday if no period by then as ive never missed one before even after coming off the pill it started to be regular again for 3months now nothing. What do you think?
Hi Sarah,
I think its a good idea to go see a doctor. Good luck
Hi Doctor! I need a little help of ur I am 17 yrs old. I had my periods 60 days back. When the Last time i had them i took couple of extra doses as it was paining a lot. Then next day i had severe headache so i took 3 disprine medicine. That was little stupid i know. But since then i had no periods. I took a pregnancy test 30 days ago and one more 20 days back. Both were negative. I am really worried about this. And also its the exam time last year at school. Its very hard to concentrate. From the last two days i am having headaches. Yesterday i vomited . Now i am very disturbed. What could be the cause of all these things?
Hi Vandy,
I am not a doctor, but I highly recommend that you go see a doctor. All of your symptoms are very concerning and it could be a health problem – unrelated to pregnancy — that is causing your symptoms. Good luck.
I forgot to mention that i didnot had sex ever

Hi Sabi,
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, it is possible that you might be pregnant. Please, go and take home pregnancy test ASAP. Good luck.
Hi doctor! I’m 18 years old, and been sexually active for almost a year now with the same guy. We have never used a condom. He always pulls out. My periods have always been exactly 28 days, but the past 2 months it’s been a few days earlier. I think due to stress, but I’m not stressed anymore. My period in Jan was 1 week earlier, and in Feb it was 3 days earlier. Now it’s March, and it didn’t come early at all. Today is the day where it would be the 28th day, and it hasn’t come. Worried I might be pregnant from pre cum. I just recently started work, and been working out everyday. My diet has changed also. Could those be reasons my period might be late?
Hi Dallas,
I am not a medical doctor, but if your period has not come at all this month, I am guessing that there is a good chance that you are pregnant. If you never use a condom and he always pulls out, there is a chance that you could be pregnant. Please take a home pregnancy test. Best of luck to you.
I’m 33 with 2 children. My period has always been extremely regular (every 26-27 days like clockwork). Since I’ve had my second child (14 months old), I’ve had 6 periods all 26 days apart almost to the hour. This month I am on day 29 and still have not started. I’ve taken several home pregnancy tests and all are negative. I’m worried b/c I’ve literally never been more than a day late (unless pregnant). I usually ovulate around day 16 or 17 so this would at least be 12DPO. I’ve always had positive preganncy tests at least the day before my missed period. I called the nurse at my OBGYN office today and she said “you are getting older….” Not very helpful
She also offered a blood pregnancy test, but said they rarely see false negatives from home preg tests after the day of an expected period.
The only change in my lifestyle I can every think of is that I’ve been eating more lean meats/fruits/veggies and less carbs and taking vitamin/herbal supplements the past couple months (advocare) (I’ve had a regular period since starting ). I’ve dropped a couple of pounds (i’m 5’9 and 132lbs), but nothing drastic and I’ve always been within 5lb range of this weight all my adult life.
Could I be pregnant, even with all these negative tests? I’ve felt a few preg symptoms, but nothing really telling. We do not use bc, and had sex on day 17 (the day after I assumed I ovulated, but pulled out–our usual and 10 year succesful mode of birth control).
Hi Aurora,
Get a blood pregnancy test from your doctor’s office. Also, make an appointment with your OB/GYN to discuss your issues. It is possible that you are pregnant. I highly doubt that at 33, you’re “getting older” unless you happen to be starting perimenopause early. So, anyway, take the blood pregnancy test and talk to your OB/GYN about your late periods. Good luck.
Hi, I am 25 years of age and since the beginning of my menstural cycle, I get late or missed periods. Now, I am married since 2 years, its missed quite often, you can say that I get my periods quarterly, or sometimes 2 months continuously in a regular cycle of 30 – 35 days. Every time I get my pregnancy check done its negative. Please suggest, is something normal? I am scared, will I get pregnant ever?
Hi Nene,
It sounds to me like you are not ovulating on a regular basis, which is why you aren’t getting your periods normally. Try not to be scared, but you do need to go see a gynecologist to figure out what is causing you NOT to ovulate. It may be PCOS. Sometimes, your doctor can give you medication to restart your period and cause you to ovulate.
Go see a doctor. They will be able to help you. And if you are trying to get pregnant, mention this to the doctor and he or she can give you advice! Good luck.
hi doctor.! hope you reply soon.can urine infection delay periods?
Hi Adina,
I am not a medical doctor.
UTIs usually don’t cause your periods to be late. However, if you are feeling run down, or you had a kidney infection, instead of a regular urinary tract infection, that can cause your periods to be late.
I highly suggest that you go see a medical doctor to treat your UTI.
So, i’m 13 and i got my period in early January. ive had it before- for like a year and a half- 2 yrs. well, after my period ended in January, all was well. in February, my grandma got sick, and passed away, and its been hard on me. i went to the doctor for a check up in like the end of the middle of February… does that make sense? well she asked if my periods are regular and i said yes bc they have been since i got it. well February passed and i didnt get my period. and now its March and i havent gotten it. i’m really worried. i have never had sex and i dont know whats wrong. i counted how long its been and its been approximatly 65 days since the end of my last period. i dont really talk about this stuff with my parents, and i dont want to talk to my mom, because i dont want to go to the doctor… also, im not on any medication. im in the 95th percentile in weight, but ive always been heavier. i also get anxiety REALLY easily, so that could add to stress. please help! i dont know whats wrong…
Hi Pey,
I am really sorry about the passing of your grandma. I am pretty sure that the stress and anxiety of your grandmother’s passing has probably affected your hormonal levels, and affected your periods. Also, if you are a heavier-set girl, it’s possible that you may not ovulate every month. So, all in all, I wouldn’t worry too much. Your period will arrive soon again. Once you are feeling less stressed.
If your period still hasn’t come in a few months, I would go see a doctor for another checkup.
i missed my periods for the month of feb..
its march now..
i didn’t had sex..
i’m worried why is it so..?
There are many reasons that could cause a missed period. Maybe stress, illness, any number of things can cause you to miss a period. If you miss your period again next month, I would suggest that you go see a gynecologist.
hi!!
I am 24 years old and missed my period for 2 months, and now its march..i had a sex.,,w/o using condom…is it necessary to meet a gynecologist?..
You should take a home pregnancy test. If it is negative, and you still do not get your period, you do need to go see a gynecologist to figure out what is causing you to miss your periods. Good luck.
Hi, so I have had unprotected sex nearly every day from my last period (2/11) to when my next period should start. I am sometimes a little off with when it should start but never more than a few days. So i wasn’t sure if it was supposed to start on 3/7 or 3/10 it is not 3/13 and I still have not had my period, I have taken 3 home pregnancy test which all have come out negative, I took them 3/6, 3/11, 3/12 is it possible that I am pregnant and the test are just wrong because I haven’t waited long enough or could it be something else?
It is possible that you are pregnant, and the home pregnancy tests aren’t sensitive enough to pick up pregnancy. If your period doesn’t come by next week, take another home pregnancy. Also, I would suggest that you make an appointment with your doctor and get a blood pregnancy test. Good luck
My period is a week late, I have all the syptoms and took a pregnancy test it was negative. Also I had a tubal ligation in December. I’m suppose to go out of town for my birthday and thought my period would have already been here and gone by now. I’m usually regular I go every 20 days about. Is it possible to have all the syptoms and not bleed?
I think you should have your period, if you are having all the symptoms. Go see your gynecologist and tell them about your symptoms. They can give you a blood pregnancy test, or do other tests to make sure that everything is OK.

Hi, I had my period January 21-24. I had unprotected sex on the 23 (I was still in my period).
My periods are irregular, they’ve been like that since I had my daughter last May. I have not had a period since January. I was supposed to have my last period in March 1st but only had a discharge with a light spot of blood. This stopped after 3 days. I have taken 4 pregnancy test and they have all came back negative.
What do I do?
Hi, I’m 14 going on 15 in July, I haven’t had sex in over 5 months, but I did get fingered,
(about two months ago) I’m not sure if he got “something” on his hand or not, and I haven’t had my pierod since then.
Is there a chance that I could be pregnant? Or is it because I’ve been having a lot of stress in school, plus, he just dumped me so I’ve been also been stressed/moody from that.
Please help?

Hi, I am 19 years old. I had unprotected sex with my bf a couple of times since December until now. My period has always been regular, its a 35 days cycle and normally lasts for 5-7 days. I never have a problem with it. I had my last period on the 11th January which lasted for 3 days, a pink color on the fist day. I missed my period in February and my next period was only on the 16th March and it lasted for 2 days and it was a low flow, pinkish, brownish and red color. I had some pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, feeling tired, sleepy, craving, mood swings, lower back pain, feeling blotted, enlarge and sore breasts and frequent urination, but no abdominal pain just discomfort sometimes. However i took 4 home pregnancy test on the 24th and 29th February and 3rd and 13th March and they all came back negative. I am not sure of what is going as I never had this problem, could i be pregnant?
I have me and my fiance have been trying to have a baby. And no matter what we do it doesn’t work. I haven’t had my period in 8 months and I know I’m not pregnant… I have done 12 home pregnancy test and 8 blood test… and Still No period? I am not scared I just want to know why. I went to my doctor and she says there is nothing wrong… but I have monthly cramps as if I were having my period. sometimes its unbearable… I really would like to hear your opinion… is there anything you can tell me that my Doctor cannot? my fiance is really worried
I am a 16 year old girl. I’m not regularly active. Though, I’m offically two weeks for my time of the month. I’ve also been losing weight lately though which kind of worries me. I’ve went down three pant sizes in the matter of a month. I don’t know if I should really worry about that yet though, or if I should wait another week to make an appointment with my family doctor. I also should mention that I am in no way sexually active, so I would not be pregnant. I’ve also been losing my appetite. If you could respond when you get the chance, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
Hi Doctor,
I am writing to you because I live in a third-world country and will not be able to get out to see a ‘real’ doctor until July. I had my baby girl in June of last year and ovulated 4 weeks later and had two menstrual cycles in July and August. Then I started a mini pill and my period never came back. Talking to a doctor friend of mine, he suggested since I had stopped breastfeeding, to change birth control pills to yasmin, which I did for one month to get through vacation and have stopped taking pills all together. That was 4 weeks ago and have yet to start any bleeding. I read somewhere that it can take up to 6 months to start again. I am pretty sure that I am not pregnant and other times I have been off birth control, I never had this issue. My body is very regular and any time I have missed my period just one day, I was pregnant. Does this sound like something that I need to just wait out until July, or should I go out of country now to get it checked out?
Thank you so much for your advice:-)

Hi, my name is Cassie and I’m 43 and my boyfriend is 42 years old. We have sex sometimes 2 to 3 times a week. And when he comes by to see me if he’s not working we have sex 2-3 times that day. Sorry, we act like rabbits sometimes. I had my tubes tied about 3 years after my daughter was born. Now she is 17 and my son is 20. I had my tubes clamped not burned. That would be 15 years ago when I had my tubal ligation. Well, I haven’t had a period for at least 2 months I took 2 pregnancy tests. One the 1st one said negative, but the 2nd one was invalid. I have noticed my breasts are heavier, and some movement and tightness in the top part of my stomach, I feel dizzy a lot, and I feel nauseated all the time and I have vomit some. I feel tired sometimes and my lower back hurts almost all the time. I can’t lean forward to much because I feel like I’m very full and I feel movement. Could I be pregnant? Or do I just need to go see my doctor and have a pregnancy test done there to determine if I am pregnant or not. And could it be possible the clamps have dissolved and my tubes are normal again? Please help?
Hi, my name is Alice & I’m 16 years old. This is my story.
I started having my period about 3 years ago.I am with my boyfriend for about three years now and we decided to have sex. (Yes, I know 16 and i lost my virginity, people give me a break) we’ve only had sex about three times. The first time was in January or so. Every month I get my period around the 9th or 10th day give or take a day. So in January I got my period normaly. After the first time we had sex, in Febuary my period was nine days late (18th). I took a test and it was negative. Now in March this month we had sex again, and I missed my period again, I waited till the 18th and still nothing, I only have the pains of the ovaries which i got the 18th. I want to take another test, but It can’t be true that I’m pregnant, there is just no way. Please, what’s happenng to me?
if you have had a delayed period for more than 2 weeks what do you do?
the only thing i ‘ve done with my boyfriend is he has fingered me and (sorry for detail) but my area was on top of his part it wasn’t close to the head of it but i would moved mine back and forth on his (SKIN to SKIN) we haven’t had sex at all but when i was suppose to get my period i didn’t and a couple days later my boyfriend fingered me again i started bleeding and thought it was my period but it wasn’t i was fine the next day then it has been almost a week and i still haven’t got it
please someone help i don’t know whats going on what am i the virgin mary ?
this is a serious question please answer it that way i’d appreciate it
my periods can be irregular some times it can go from one week to another but i’m not sure here and he has never cummed on me or anything we are very careful of that so i dont understand i have been very moody lately i get sad depressed a but some times as a teenager (17) but i still dont understand ?
and i dont really keep track because some times it changes the last i remember was it came the week before feb 23rd because i was in a play which is super stressful so i was waiting for march to come and it’s almost the 23rd idk if i am close to a week late i need help please ?
I am 44 and have missed my last period. I am not pregnant- I haven’t had sex in a while. Could this be early menopause? I have a 9 yr old and 6 yr old twins (naturally occurring). I have never had fertility problems and my cycle usually runs every 21-25 days. This happened a year ago where I missed a period and then it went back to normal. I have not had any other symptoms of menopause.
Hi Doctor,
I missed my periods for 3months, after i have unprotected sex. i have done the pregnancy test for two times and they were negative.
yesterday i went through ultrasound scanning test.it showed the results as below:
size ex shape and show multiple small anechoic cyst areas in cluster no mature/dominant follicle scene.
right ovary: 28mm*29mm
left ovary: 26mm*25mm
endometrium measures: 7.2mm
uterus measures: 70*34*37mm
What does it mean? (any serious )
waiting for your reply..!
sorry i forgot to add this in to my other question above ^ :
oh and when my area was on his this happened a couple weeks before he fingered me and i started bleeding when i thought it was my period but it wasnt ? he is always very careful about his area and makes sure nothing is coming out or he will wipe it away do you think when he fingered me pre cum could have gotten on it ? maybe ? we arent sure he says he is very careful but im still freaking out and its gonna stress me out more which could delay my period maybe ?
dear ms. nguyen,
hello. i am 25 years old and i have never been pregnant. i have never taken birth control pills or any other contraceptive except for condoms. my last full checkup at the gyn was last september.
my period was irregular for years but has been regular for the last few months.
on march 14th my boyfriend came inside me while wearing a condom that he hadn’t put on properly and which seemed to be too small/tight because it only covered half of his penis (i noticed this before it happened but i didn’t think it was dangerous).
when he pulled out after the condom wasn’t on. we panicked and looked for it but couldn’t find it. then i found it inside me and i pulled it out gently. apparently it had come off at some point during sex. the contents had leaked out of the condom. i have a heart problem and i was afraid to take the ec pill after researching it for hours. i prayed that my period would come on the 18th or 19th like it did last month but it is now the 22nd and it still hasn’t come. it has been feeling like it will come any minute but it doesn’t come. i am pretty sure that i ovulated around 2 weeks prior and i heard that you can only get pregnant during that time. we are not trying to get pregnant and my boyfriend said he cannot take responsibility. i am so scared. abortion is not as option. please help. thank you.
Dear Dr. Nguyen,
I’m desperately in need for your suggestion. I’m 29 years old and I have irreguler period cycle, the longest was 17days and only happenned once usually late up to 2weeks. However, since January i haven’t had my period. If i’m pregnant, i will be 11 weeks by now. But i’ve had 3 urine tests and all negative. But i swear i feel like i’m pregnant and i have all the symptoms. My husband and i, are trying to have baby. We have unprotected sex since March last year and i’ve never been on pills. I’m just worry if i’m not pregnant, could it be something bad happening inside? i have scheduled an ultrasound on the 5th of April. Is there other test i should check? Thanks Mel
HEY DP Nguyen,

i am very scared why is this happening to me..?? and in any case i am sure that i can’t get pregnant as i dint have anything with any boy or male or any one, any type of sexual intercourse or anything.. !! plz help me doctor..
Hi, I used to take breastfeeding birth control pills then when I stopped breastfeed my baby I switch for the regular birth control pills, I started on January and on February 20th I have just a light bleeding then I never had my period till today mars 23th, my pregnancy test was negatif, I need an advice please
I have always had regular periods. There is no chance I’m pregnant (virgin). I have not had a period in 2 months. I am experiencing some changes in my life though. I am 18.
Dear Dr Nguyen,I have the ability to stop my period when it comes during an inconvenient time whether it’s just before overseas travel or a running competition. I just think hard “wouldn’t it be nice if I don’t have my period now?”, and then my period would simply stop. Reading your blog, this phenomenon it’s probably due to stress than some special mental controlling ability I have. My problem is, once I ‘tells’ my period not to come, it refuses to come back. I waited and waited, but it has been 4 months and this is not the first time this has happened. I’m definitely not pregnant and feeling relatively relaxed at the moment. Should I be doing something? Thank you for your advice!
I’m 19 and I’ve had irregular periods for 9 years. It has it’s regular years but for the most part it’s been irregular. My mom said it’s because I was a vegetarian, but I’m not anymore. It’s been 5 years since and I was irregular through and still. I was diagnosed with PID and I don’t know why. Every time I get tested, they always come out negative. Anyway, was wondering if they’ll ever be regular, and when. Thanks!
Hi,
I am soon to be 27 and I have missed my periods in February and haven’t gotten the in March also. I have lost about 40 lbs since September and I started exercising 5 times a week. I know those are probably the reasons for missed periods, but I am getting worried that it’s already 2nd month. So my question is should I be getting really worried?
Hi.I’m 19 & my period is over a week late.I had sex only once this month…about a week ago.I’m terrified that I’m pregnant & extremely stressed.I just took a at home pregnancy test (2) and they both came out negative.I recently just got help for my eating disorders,but I’ve always had my period on time the entire time I had them.Is it possible my period stopped because of my change of diet & now that I’m eating again?I plan on getting a blood test this week & seeing my doctor,but I keep reading that sometimes the test come out negative until the 6th week of pregnancy is this true?
Thanks.

Hello,
I can’t concentrate, I’m very stressed and scared about this.
Do today is march 30th and I was supposed to get my period on the 23. I just turned 18, and my periods are usually only 1 or 2 days irregular at most! I had se with my boyfriend at the beginning of the month and the condom worked its way off inside
Me so we were unprotected. I took plan B the next morning, but my period is just a week late. Im very worried, I can’t be pregnant
Ill take a pt in a day or two, do you think I could be pregnant?
Emily,
Years ago I had to take a plan B because of a rape. I was concerned I was pregnant because my period did not arrive…it was almost a month late. I was very relieved, but learned that plan B messes up your schedule quite a bit – it takes a little time but it will regulate itself again.
hi doc…i am 22 yr of age…….my date of periods is usually the 22nd of the month but it gets delayed for 3 to 4 days usually……this month i havent got my periods yet……i am worried……my periods are regular but 2 yrs back i missed my periods once then it was normal every month…plz help am i fine..????…….i am still a virgin…..plz help…thanks
Hi my name is Jessica. I started my period on March first of last month. The day after I got off my period, I had unprotected sex. My boyfriend and i used the “pull out method”. I think its completely stupid but he insisted and I gave in. We have used this method once before and it worked. I usually start my period on the 1st but I’m a couple of days late. I have been having cramps but I’m not sure what to do..
Hey, I’m 16 and I’ve had sex around 4 times in a span of two weeks. We always used a condom, but we have had contact without one a couple times. Now my period is late, and I’m really stressing about it. I know that stress can make your period late and that it’s unlikely that I am pregnant, but the possibility is freaking me out. I’m not sure what to do..
I’d start with taking a pregnancy test first. That way you can get a better grasp on what to do first.
I had unprotected sex the beginning of the week I was due on. Now I have heard before you normally ovulate the week BEFORE you are due on so this is a high risk time of getting pregnant, but as I had unprotected sex the week I was due on I wasn’t too worried. Unfortunately my period is now two weeks late, I did a home pregnancy test but it was negative. I always have very regular periods that I don’t have to worry about – should I leave it a couple more weeks then take a test at the doctors? Please help me
I am 28 years old and had my last period february 20th, it’s now april 6th and have still not had my march period…i never have missed a period (i starting getting them 2 weeks before my 18th birthday)…I am trying to get pregnant, but have had no luck for 12months. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests all negative so far.
Hello Ladies,
So it’s been approx 40 days since my last period – that’s unusual for me. I’m normally around 30 days. There’s no way I’m pregnant. I have been going through a tremendous amount of stress that’s happened in the last month and over the last year I have gained a significant amount of weight. I keep feeling like it’s coming, but I don’t know if I should just figure I’m one of those cases where women skip a period. It’s never happened before, but I just turned 30 so maybe this is life just playing a joke on me. Any suggestions of what to do? I have an appointment for a physical on May 2nd with my gyno. Thanks so much!
My period was suppose to come on march 16th and as of today my period is 4 weeks late. I have took like 6 pregnancy test and they all came back negative. I get my period every month faithfully. What could be the problem

Hi there
I am 28 years old and have been on Demulin bcp for just over a year. 2 months ago I missed my period. This past month, i had backache, cramps and sore breasts like i always do but only had light spotting for maybe 1/2 a day. I have taken a pregnancy test and it was negative. What’s going on?
Hi, I was doing research on why my period has not come since the end of January.. it usually comes the end of each month and the first of the next like the 30-2 kind of thing.. usually 3-4days long, I know for a fact im not pregnant, iv taken a test almost every Friday since Feb. and all have come back Negative, Im worried something is wrong with me cause its never happened before and my husband is really worried cause he would like children and all that good stuff. im only 20 years old, taking 6 college classes, so stress is there but not a lot, my exercise is my twice a week for an hour and a half Karate class (college class). iv been eating the same and haven gained or lost anymore than 5lbs in a month.. i have been having lower abdominal pains kinda like a cramps and feel blotted then it goes away, im going to the Doctor next Thursday for my Well Check, but could it be serious or something? should I be this worried about it?
i was never nauseated nor do/did my breast get swollen or any kind of sensitive,
felt like i needed to add that..
That and all the Tests i did were all different brands…

Thanks
Hii..i am 26 . I had issues with my period from past 7 months i could see spotting in the 2days and later it will start bleeding, during spotting i feel so irritated,lot of discomfort and i also get heavy back ache, recently i visited a doctor and done with all the tests . The doctor said everything is perfect, the only minor she could see is that my body is not able to produce enough of hormones which i can overcome with my first pregnancy so, no specific medication has been prescribed by her. I was out of the country for 2 months when i am back home my period was suppose to be on 15th of Feb but i got 10days delayed n i got my period on 24rth of March the issue was the same spotting for the first two days and later i had a heavy bleeding due to the 10 days delay. Now this month i got my period 10days prior i.e on 16th of April i could see the spotting . Getting confused with my body mechanism whether it’s trying to cover last month’s delay or is there something else behind this. Please help me in clearing this issue.
Thanks

Hello..my period is irregular…the last time i had my period was last year november 2011..im counting that i should have my period in january..but i missed january,february,march,and now april is almost done??
my husband had vasectomy for quite awhile now, say 15 years. having said that, we never use protection during sex. question is , I was expecting to have my period last week but it didn’t come and we had sex and this is the second week now and I still don’t have my period. I’m 47 years old with 4 kids. Am I pregnant?
Hi Leslie,
I think you missing your period might be due to menopause rather than being pregnant. In our own experience, I never got pregnant when my husband had the vasectomy. I think it is one of the procedures that is foolproof (I’m no expert on such matters but am only saying it based on experience.) I only got pregnant when the vasectomy was successfully reversed by Dr. Wilson at a measly cost of $1700. I always refer him to friends who want to have a reversal but at the same time would also like to ensure its successful outcome. You may also check out his site at http://www.microvasreversal.com
So if your husband hasn’t had a reverse vasectomy, it is highly improbable for you to get pregnant at this point in time. Nevertheless, it would be best if you seek an appointment with your obstetrician.
I’m younger and I’ve lost my virginity. I was always raised to use a condom AND birth control, but when it happened we only used a condom. Now, I’ve missed my period. I automatically assume it’s due to pregnancy. Could it be explained by anything else?
I last had my menstrual period in January, I missed it in February and March. I took a home pregnancy test today and the result was negative. I thought am pregnant since I last saw my menstrual period in January now I don’t know what to do. Advice please.
A week after the start of my period i had protected sex (condom +withdrawal) then a week before my period i had protected sex (again condom + withdrawal). I usually ovulate around the second week of my cycle. Now i’ve missed my period for a week now, took 2 test with morning urine and both came out negative. Besides a four day diet and a 2 day emotional meltdown somewhere along my cycle i cant think of what non pregnancy reasons it might be late. I’m not trying to conceive so not hoping for a positive. I’ve been fine for these past few days since my scheduled period date. No stressing or worrying. but it still isnt here :/ Dont know what to do.
I skip mines for 3 year and get it back in two or three year
Is that normal?
hii

hi
i am 29, i had my last period in jan 20th (three months ago). im so worried that this could be a reproduction problem. i took plan B 4 times with in last year, but every time i took the pill my period comes after a week (it might be bleeding but it lasts for 7 days as if i had a normal period). i never had a regular period but i see my periods at least once in 6 weeks. but this time its like it will never be back…… do u think the plan B causes this???? please help
btw not pregnant
I stopped taking my pills last month and I had a regular period afterward, but I missed my period this month I’m 15 days late and I took a few tests when I was only around 6 or 7 days late..does my pills explain why I missed my period because I’m getting EVERY pregnancy symptom I mean everry one! I’m scheduled to take a blood test in two weeks, but I’m not sure if im even pregnant though I’m still getting cramps, headaches, nausea, fatigue, breast tenderness and veiny and even blue ring around areolas bloating, gas, dizziness….and etc..is just my mind playing tricks or what..? Please help..
Courtney I am in the exact same situation. I stopped taking my bc when my period started in February, my period came as it should in March and here in April I am 5 days late. Ive had cramps as if my period is coming but no period, I feel tired all the time, white discharge, breast tenderness, and a lot of dizziness but I am trying to figure out could it be because of the BC. I took a hpt 2 days ago but it was negative, I am going to see my OB next week but the suspense is killing me!
I’m 33 years old, and I did have sex with my boyfriend once each of the prior weeks with protection. So far its now been 28 days and still no period. I’ve been getting signs like I may start, but still nothing. I’m sure its just stress related, but I’m unsure. I took a test and it came up negative. What could be wrong?
I have not had a period since the middle of February 2012. So I am about 2 months late. I have taken 8 pregnancy tests and they all said no. What should I do? I’m nervous about what it could be because 2 months is a long time to miss, but not sure?
hi doc,i need your help.. im 22 yrs old.. my last period was on 22th february 2012. till now my period had not come,i already did the pregnancy test and was shown negative. i did not have any sex also. but i could feel my body is different. im scared to see a doctor.. please advice me..
thanks
Hi, I’m 15 and last month i didn’t have my periods. What can be the possible reason?
I’m really scared.
And i’m not pregnant BTW.
I’m 21 and my husband and Ihave been trying to get pregnant for 8 months now. 5 months ago I went to the Dr because I was a month late on my period but all pregnancy tests were negative. He gave me medicine to start my period and I ended up starting 2 weeks later since then I haven’t had another period. I have taken test after test and all negative. I have also been every emotional and have hot flashes all the time. My insurance doesn’t go into affect for another month. What do you think is wrong? And what should I do?
Hi I haven’t started my period and it has been going on a week. My periods are regular every month I start on the 20th/21st. But this month I missed it. I have had sex with my bf unprotected and I took 2 hpts on Tuesday and they came back negative.
Idk what to do….
I’m 17, I’ve had unprotected sex more than once. He always pulls out, but I do know that I can still be pregnant. It’s been at least two months since my last period. But, I’m quite unsure when my periods ever are, I never pay attention. I’ve taken 3 home pregnancy tests. All negative, 2 of which were this week. I’m still kinda worried, I’ve skipped a month before, but never 2 months. Any chance I’m still pregnant? I’m not sure what to do..do I wait it out and hope for my period to come next month???
Hello … Okay so the last time I had my period was on febuary 22- about the end of Feb. I haven’t had one yet and on Saturday, the 21, I was dry humping with my boyfriend and we were both fully clothed with jeans boxers jeans and underwear…. I’m really nervous because my period is late and idk what to do! Could I be prego? Or is it because I’m stressing to much? Can sperm travel through 4 layers of clothing?? Please help!!
I am 21 years old and started my period at 12. I would never get them every month but often enough. At 15 I dropped to the floor with pain and found out I had a cyst and for 4 years I had an ultrasound every 3 months it would get bigger but my doc never wanted to surgically remove it. Finally last year enough was enough , it was now the size of a Grapefruit , and very painful. Had the surgery , and found out all along the cyst was hanging off my Fallopian tube. It was removed safely with no removed. I didnt have my period for 4 months before that and 8 months after that , total ? an entire year now without menstruating . I am even more worried now that for the past two weeks ive had intense pain on my left pelvic side. It goes up to my rib cage , and hurts too much to walk. Severe Nausea. Dizziness. Spotting. I dont know what this could be, my health insurance expired. Please Help ???
Hi,
I am 22 years…
I had my first periods at the age of 12.Like most teenagers, I was irregular,did not have them for more that 9 months since the first time I got them…
After that I started having them regularly,every 28 days but since 3 years ago I am starting to have problems again…
At the beginning I started skipping 2 to 3 weeks,then a month,then 3 months and now I haven’t had my periods for six months now,and occasionally (every two weeks) I bleed one or two drops of very clear,nearly pink blood…
I have no pains at all….
And usually before having my periods,My breasts normally get swollen and become painful and by this I knew my periods were coming,but now I don’t have any pains at all..
Please do give me some advise…does this mean that I will stop having them??
Will I b able to become pregnant????
It may mean that you aren’t ovulating as regularly as you should.
It’s a really good idea to go see a gynecologist to figure out what’s causing your periods to be so irregular.
Hi, i have been having irregular periods since i have been an adult. well the last time i had a period it was in January and here it is April 27 and i havent had one since. I spotted around easter which was around the 8th of april. I keep taking hpt’s ( home pregnancy test) but they all come out to be negative. Im kinda scared to go to the doctor. I just wanted to know what kinda things can it be?
You should go see a doctor to figure out what’s going on with your period. Try not to be afraid. It may be as simple as you needing to drop a few pounds. But it could be PCOS, or any number of other health problems. So please go see a doctor. Good luck

I had my period from March 26-29. On March 31st I had unprotected sex with my bf, I turned around the next day and took Morning after pills. Now I have not seen my period all this month and today is the 28th. I never had normal period before, plus I have tested myself 7 times to make sure I am not pregnant. I did change my diet starting April first I have been on a special diet program to help me lose weight. I have cramps, and my face is breaking out coz it’s around this time I get my period, but I see nothing. What do I do?
my boyfriend and i had sex about a month ago, we used a condom, and i got my period a few days after we had. and two weeks later i took a test just to make sure and it was negative and i took another one about a week after that and it also said negative so i wasnt worried and my boyfriend said hes sure that the condom didnt break or anything. but i havn’t got my period this month and usually i get it at the end of the month sometimes running through the beginging of the next month. so im kind of getting worried, but we havn’t had sex after that. but i read the causes of a missed period and it said stress and anxiety could be a possible reason, and latley i have been kind of stressed about alot. what do you think? should i be worried? or is that normal? tips on what i should do?

Hi,
Im 29, have 4 kids, well on Feb 11th, my fiance and I had sex using a spermicide gel extra strength (we have NOT had sex sense), I got my period in march around the 25th, I was so relieved to get it because it was a little late… Now it is april 30th and I have NOT gotten my period this month… could I be pregnant or could it be from stressing out about it? I didnt think I’d be pregnant sense I had gotten it last month… HELP!
I am always regular and hardly ever late but this time i am almost 2 weeks late… I took a test and it came out negative. i have always heard that the best time to take a at home pregnancy test is in the morning. is this true. me and my husband are wanting to get pregnant and are happy that I am late but should I wait longer before i take another one or should I go to my Dr. and do a blood work test?
Hello, just wanted to see if anyone can help me with my problem. I havent had a period in 2+ years, Im 22 no kids and im abstinent. Ive always been irregular but all of a sudden they just stopped. Ive been to a lot of doctors but no one tells me anything. For the past few days Ive been cramping really bad to the point that I cant move.
Is it weird for a 16 yr old to have secondary amenorrhea? My friend hasn’t had her period in 2 months. She took a few pregnancy tests and they were all negative. She has a healthy body weight too. I told her to go see a doctor in case she has a more serious problem, but she doesn’t want her mom to know that she had sex with her boyfriend. Is there a way to tell exactly what it is without going to a doctor?
Hi, I’m 22 years old and I’ve always had a normal period until the last few months. January I had my period for three weeks when it was only 3 days every month before that. That was the last time I’ve had it & I’ve taken multiple pregnancy test & they’ve all been negative. My husband & I are trying to have a baby but are not having any luck. Any ideas of what could be going on?
Hi, the first day of my last period was Feb 16, 2012, its now May 1st and still haven’t gotten my period. I have taken sevral hpt and all came out negative. I went to my doctor on April 1st for my pap and got a pee and blood pt. My pap came back normal and both pee/blood test negative. I did have unprotected sex around the beginning of March so i assume by this time i should have already gotten a positive pt if i was pregnat, but still come out negative. I had not been stressed about it but its going to be 3months already and im begining to get worried there might be something else wrong with me if i am not pregnat??
Please advice
HELLO, MY NAME IS BRITTANY – I AM 21 YEARS OF AGE – when I began my period @ age 11 it was for 7 days – decreased to 5 days @ age 14 -20 now that i am 21 my period has been unpredictable – it was on tract where i knew exactly when it was coming on, then about 61/2 months ago I went to the E.R. because I was told that I may be pregnant in my tubes…test were ran, and it came back neg, & that I had a UTI that went up into my stomach area – Now Its May & I havent had A period since January – which 5months – I took a test in febuary & it came out negative. Can you tell me what you think might be the problem?
My last period started March 30th. I have not had one since, but i did have a tiny bit of bleeding one day. I put in a tampon because i thought i had started my period, but when i took it out a few hours later there was only a little blood on the top and the rest was clean. I have not had any other signs of a period since. I get really worried when i am late for my period, because last month i did have sex once. It was with an ex and a mistake, but there was a condom worn the entire time. To be honest i dont even think he reached climax before i had him stop.
i was still worried, and took 4 pregnancy tests. I took the first and it appeared negative, then the second you could see a VERY faint positive line, which scared me more, so then i went and got 2 more tests which both came back clearly negative. i really dont think i am pregnant but i always worry.
It is exam week for school, so i am stressed, i started a new diet and exercise program recently and i am overweight, (which is why i started the new diet and exercise) I also have had problems with my thyroid in the past, but am not longer taking the medication because the problem was so small i didnt need to, so I dont know what to do about not haveing my period??
What do you think could be the cause?
OK so here we go. First off I have always been on a 28 day cycle. On March 19, 2012 my period was 2 days early, very watery it lasted 4 days. On 3/24& 3/25 I had on and off spotting then nothing for 4 days. I started spotting again on 3/30 – 4/10 the spotting was different colors at times pink, brown, red to watery with 1 0r 2 tiny red specks only on the tissue at times. On 4/6 after walking all day I felt a gush and when I went to the restroom on my panties was a very thick brown discharge. On 4/8 I had blood clots the size of quarters. During the spotting from 3/30- 4/10 I have had very light crampimg in the pelvic area. Finally on 4/11 the bleeding stopped all together. On 4/18 I had a sticky white discharge with on and off pain on my right side. I took a OPK test on 4/23 & 4/25 which came out postive. From 4/19-4/24 had a clear watery discharge. 4/28 negative OPK. Nipples have been sore on and off since 3/15. The clear discharge came back on 5/2. I have taken atleast 5 pregnancy test all negative. My next period should be due on 5/12/12. What could this be ?
Just wanted to add my period was due on 4/15 and I’m 38 years old.
Since year my period start at the last week in each month. In March 2012 however it start March 29 and end April 2nd. I had sexual intercourse two times since April. I was suppose to see my period the 30th of April or before.I had unprotected sex on the 30th of april and took a morning after pill the 1st of May. I haven’t seen my period since.Could i be pregnant?
Having the same problem. I gave birth last September. Haven’t had my period until February. But last month, my period came back. As far as I remember it, its on March 26. Right now I’m 1 week delayed and I’m afraid that I might be pregnant again.
. By the way, until now, my baby is breast fed. Haven’t had pregnancy test yet. Dont know what to do. 
Great article!
I had irregular periods for most of my teens and early 20′s, it was noting for me to have more than 1 a month or go as long as 6 weeks without one. For those young girls out there who don’t wish to become pregnant, please use protection, I had my oldest son at 16.
I had another son almost 2 1/2 years ago at 26 and once my periods returned they were all over the place because I was nursing him. Now he only nurses once in a while at night so I started off regular, but now my usual cycle is about 35 days. My husband and I have tried to have another baby and I am currently 10 days late going by a 35 day cycle. I have yet to take another test but we are hopeful. If the test comes out negative today, should I wait another week and retake the test or go into the doctor?
Also, my mom said she went through what she thought was early menopause at this age (28/29), and I seem to be experiencing some sort of hormonal change too. Is this a normal occurance? Have others gone through this?
I have a big problem im 51 days late, my last period was on feb, 16, 2012 and I havent had once since I been a regular as far as I can remember but its just stopped. I had my son about 10 months ago but got my period right away cuz I didnt breastfeed cuz personal issues but anyway I went to my local free clinic and took blood and took a regular pregnancy test both was neg. I am sexually active i use the pull out method now. I even had sex for a week straight to start my period and that didnt work and that used to work. Idk what is wrong and the clinic dont tell me anything idk what to do should I be really concerned or should i keep waiting for my period to just show up when its ready?
Also what’s the best blood test to take cuz at the clinic they took one and results were in 15 minutes but I read a lot of others and they say there results r the next day. So should I try a diff test or just wait:-/ I’m really scared.
I’m 17 almost turning 18, my period stopped about 4-5 months ago, this had happened before. I know I have been stressed lately because of school (diplomas) and etc. I’m greatly concerned. I heard that I should go to the doctor for birth control pills to keep my cycle back to normal.
SAIYA I THINK IT will be more effective if u just try the herbal tea…
I’m writing because I’am in my mid-forties and the last time I had a period was around the second or third week of March. It is now almost the second week in May, I was a little nauses around the time my period was due or after but I brushed it off and then my nipples were sore, but I brushed it off, because I know that around the time for my period sometimes they are a little sore. The soreness went away and then it came back, about two weeks ago there was a faint pink when I wiped and i could barely see it, so a few days later I took some tissue and inserted with my finger and there was a lil blood and then I checked again and it was a string of blood with some mucus. And since then I’ve been having some stinging, lower back pain and pain on my lower left abdomin, also I forgot to tell u that my periods are usually between 22 til 29 days apart. I haven’t done a home pregancy test yet, I was trying to wait until I see my primary care doctor on May 21, 2012. Because i don’t want to get my hopes up to high and be dispointed cause this has happenen before a while ago, but other than that I have the tiredness, off and on nipple tenderness. Is it possible that a bladder infection could be the cause or maybe my hormones. I know I can get pregnant even though I’m older cause I’ve having for the most part a regular cycles and I know I’m ovulating, and was told that it wasn’t menopause or pre-menopause last year. So, If u could please give me your’e expertise on what u think could be possible I would really appreciate. P.S. The only other time I had the faint pink color or spotting that i can remember was when I was pregnant with my son whose 12yrs old and daughter who is almost 9yrs old in Sept. and the miscarriage in 1998 and my daughter that was stillborn in 1999 Thank You and I hope to hear back from u soon

Hi Im having concerns about my missed period. My last period came on March 30 and went off the first week of April, but here it is May and I still have not seen my period. I have taken multiple pregnancy test and they all have came back positive. Could this be sign that Im pregnant?
I meant to say that they all came back negative.
Im 21. I had sex on the 28th day of my cycle (april 15) which usually lasts 35 days (but is sometimes irregular). My period was due the 23rd of April and it did show up but it was lighter than usual. However, it’s been light like this several times before just that the month before it was exceptionally heavy. So I expected a heavy period. I haven’t taken a home pregnancy test. But I’m worried I might be pregnant. Is it possible? I have been feeling weird for a couple of days though and now I’m not sure if it’s because I’m stressing too much or it’s because I’m pregnant. Please help.
hi this is mary 20 years old i have allways have inregular periods my ? is my las period was JAN 30 since then i have not got my period and its MAY9 and still have NOT GOT MY PERIOD am really worry i have taken home pregnacy test like more than 8 they all come negative ….. so went to take a blood test and it came negative too……. i had have alot of stress bc of my job therefor now am not working but am worry bc dont know what wrong with me????? what should i do …. i have not gone to a doc if i have to go what kind of doc should i go to?????
i had a DnC in January 24th, my next period was on February 29 then followed by April 2 and followed by May 7th. My first period after DNC was heavy then my second period was spotting for 3 days and my 3rd period can be said OK but it is not as normal as my normal period before pregnancy. So I would like to know when my cycle will have normal flow as previously.And I would like to know will I ovulate normally or not.
Hi there,
So, I was on birth control last year and stopped taking it November because it was making me really depressed. After taking the birth control I had normal periods up until this month. I am sexually active, but use protection every time. I was suppose to start my period on the 2nd of May, but still haven’t. Worried, I went last night and took a pregnancy test and it was negative, I used first response to which is sensitive up to 6 days before your missed period. However, I am cramping and have had mood swings and cravings as I have every single month before I start my period. I was planning on waiting another week before taking another pregnancy test to ensure I am not pregnant. I have also been very stressed lately, especially within the past 2 weeks. But, even though I’m stressed I have NEVER missed a period. I have had more than one in a month before but never a missed period. I am 21 years old now, and when I was 14 I had several ovarian cyst and don’t know if maybe that could have anything to do with it. I am just a little stressed out and want to know if this is normal or if I should be worrying about possibly being pregnant. Also the last time I had sex was around the 24th of April, if that helps at all.
Thank you for your feedback!
Okay, I FINALLY got my period last night after about 7 months
Great blog, It has helped me rule out some possibilities about my irregular and missed periods, but I have a few questions :
1- Is it true that if a girl is around other girls with regular cycles, it can regulate her cycle? I’ve heard this from sooo many people, but I’ve always thought it was ridiculous. I was kind of skeptical about it though. On October 2010 I had a dream that me and my best friend were hugging this baby boy, and then I had the same dream in the first week of March 2011. That week I was supposed to get my period but i didn’t. I shrugged it off and though it would come late – It never came. All through March I kept having the dream about the baby. It scared me, but I knew I wasn’t pregnant. I had no boyfriend at the time. April came and I missed my period again. I finally decided to tell my bestfriend I didn’t get it this time, and it missed it in March as well. She said ” I HAVEN’T GOTTEN IT EITHER!!” It was 5 days late for her and 3 days late for me. We decided to get ourselves checked out, and she was actually pregnant. The baby I had dreamed about was hers- And the baby turned out to be a girl xD
2- I have a eating disorder, so if I am able to regulate my eating, how long will my menstrual cycle take to regulate itself ?
3- God forbid i have any problems with my fallopian tubes or ovaries, but if I did, can it affect me in the future ? Like, will I not be able to become pregnant o.o ?!?!?
So, this is gonna sound like a super retarded question, but can you get pregnant from dry humping if he comes? Like is there any way that it could soak through his jeans to my shorts to my vagina or something? I know it’s dumb, but I’m a week late on my period, and I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, but I’m freaking out.
Hi Shelly,
NO.. You cannot get pregnant from him “dry humping” you with your clothes on and him getting it on your clothing. Sperm will not survive outside of the body for very long at all, and they can’t swin through clothes, find your vagina, and get all the way through your cervix into your uterus. So, NO worries…cannot happen.
***ALTHOUGH: keep in mind…that although, they cannot go through clothing into you, and get you pregnant. If you were both naked, and the same thing were happening..that is a situation where you would want to be more careful. Although not likely, you would always want to be careful. And as a side note, anytime you are going to have any kind of sexual contact, BE SAFE! and use protection for yourself.
Nichole

Hi I’m having the same issue and I really hope you can help me. I’m searching a lot in google and laveing comments like this on every sites i see. I’m 20 and I’m single. I don’t have a boyfriends and never had one since birth. My period is not really regular like others eversince. Most of the time i won’t have period for 2-3 months but after that eventually my period will start.
Now I’m really really worried because It’s been 8 or more month’s now and I still don’t have my period. I’ve had this same issue before when I was 15-16 years old where my period is delayed for like 6months. So I visit my doctor that time and she started giving me “Provera” I’m not sure if i spelled it correctly but thats the name of the medicine she gaved me. After taking it for 7 days i started to have my period regular for 4 months.
So, thinking that I’m ok I stopped seing my doctor and after 8months I became irregular again maybe 3months no period but now It’s worst. Please I need your advice. Should I take the same medicine again to start my period? I’ve been to a lot of stress lately and I can’t sleep at night. I gained weight. I’m 5’7″ and my weight is 80kg. I can’t exercise much since I work at night in a call center company. So in the morning all I do is sleep. Please help. I’m really really scared.
hey so im sure u have realised that ive been on this site that you have left a commit on. well wot u have explained is exactully the same with me. well i havent had any treatment. i would say ive not had mine in like a year now. it would normanly be 6/12 months. ive been to a doctor but they never said much. and as for the weight i recon that ive put the weight on with this all as well. but the doctor will try an say they arent coming cause of the weight. i cant say i eat alot i would more or less say u be luck if i eat 2 or 3meals a day. it would be great if u have got any information or help. and as once i get home from africa ill be going to my doctors and ill give u feed back on what they say.
u need to visit ur doctor again.maybe if u start the prescription again it might help regulate ur cycle
sorry left the wrong comment
I haven’t had a period since Christmas. Before that it was October and I don’t even remember when I had my period before then. I am only 19 and I am not sexually active. I started when I was either 12 or 13. At first my periods were only about 2 months apart, but they’ve never been really regular. I’ve never been to the Dr for this and actually I’m a little scared to go to the Dr. I’ve looked up several possible disorders, but really the only symptom I have is irregular periods.

I really wouldn’t worry too much. It is probably just the stress levels in your life.
DON’T WORRY HANNAH…….IT WILL BE OK…JUST SPEND UR TIME WITH FRNDS AND CHATING……
I am 17 and haven’t had my period for four months.. i’m very concerned. I know I am not pregnant because I have never been sexually active in my life. I know I should probably see a doctor but I was wondering if you could maybe give me an idea of what could be the cause.
Hi Samantha,
You should probably go see a doctor. There are many things that could cause you to miss your period, so I highly suggest that you go see a medical doctor to pinpoint what’s causing your lack of menstruation. Good luck!

Hi I am 32 years old. I never have my period regular normally I have one every three or four months. I married 5 months ago I really want to conceive but it never happen. Please help me for the best solution.
Hi I am 18 years old and I have recently had a period ‘act up’ which it’s never done before. I did have unprotected sex, however it wasn’t intercourse per se it was anal sex. I know you can’t necessarily get pregnant anally but I do know that there’s a possibility of something dripping down, although a very slim possibility. I’m a natural worry so I’ve been stressing about this for weeks. I finally got my period a couple days ago but it only lasted two days. I cramped like I normally would do I think everything is okay? Not to mention when I had this sex it was about eight days after I had my last one. I also took a home pregnancy test and the results were negative so is my period ‘acting up’ (i.e. less bleeding, no smell, different color) a result of my stress? Even though I’ve been ‘stressed’ and it’s never done this however this is a whole new level of stress to me. Also the only obvious sign I see in my period acting up is the less bleeding because I don’t usually inspect my tampons so I could be fabricating the other two.
hey
i m 25 n i had unprotected sex on d date of my period. but v didn’t had anal. n i ve nt gotten periods till now it has been 12 days m a bit worried. n as my wedding date is pretty much near m a bit confused that it is because of sex or because of stress. plz do suggest what might b d reason.
I have missed my period for 2 months and i have also did home pregnancy test which came out negative . I had sex only once and the intercourse was for only 5 minutes ( unprotected ) and he came after 20 minutes .
I am also freaking out about missing my period and I also have exams after 2 weeks time as i am a uni student .
Oh and yes i did miss my period before in years but it was only for a month. But never went to the doctor .
What is happening to me ?
Incomplete information : he came outside after 20 minutes .
Sorry for this much open information. Desperate for the answer.
Hi Kate,
Not trying to freak you out but the home pregnant test are not always right, you should take another one or go to the health dep or doc and do another test, and the pulling out method don’t work thats how I had my son. It don’t matter if he pulls out or not there is sperm before that.
hi
i am a 12 year old girl who hasnt had my period in 2 1/2 months. the first time i started it was normal i had it for a whole week. then i waited 48 days for it to come again and it only came for 3 days. and now i have waited 2 1/2 months for it to come. i know i am NOT pregnant because im am not sexually active at all
I am VERY VERY scared and i done know what i should do
Hi Zayn
If you are not sexually active at all do not worry. When I was your age my menestral cycle was all over the place. I would have one, then miss for 4 months and so on.
I went to see my gynecologist as I was also worried he assured me that it is normal for young ladies to be very irregular.
He did put me on birth control a year later to regulate me which worked like a charm. I stopped taking the pill at 14 and they are always like clock work.
Try not to worry.
Mrs. Alisha MacDonald
Omg I am also 12 years old I am not sexually active at all im so scared and I am having the same problem with my period…dont feel alone!!

Hi,
I’m 20 and my periods have always been like clockwork. About a month ago my boyfriend and I had sex (using a condom as usual), but he came outside of my body. We later had anal sex (unprotected) but he mistakenly went into my vagina (for 5 seconds). I am now nearly 2 weeks late with my period but pregnancy tests turn out negative. What could be wrong with me? I am in my second year of university with a lot of stress to pass my exams. Could that be it? I also read somewhere that it could be a thyroid problem which my mother had too.
Please help I am really concerned.

hello, i’m 18 years old .my period is stopped from5 months and 5 days. and i’m virgin..is it a big problem 2 have my periods late so much ,,,what should i do?
Hello, i had the same problem when I was younger. It turned out that I had ovarian cysts that caused irregular periods and severe period pains. It is very common, many women have ovarian cysts and don’t know about them. You should speak to your doctor, he will probably refer you to get a scan. Good luck.

My husband and I were married on March 3rd 2012. In December of 2011 I stop using birth control. For the next 4 months I had a period and since December I have been tracking my periods. If it was late it was only a day or so. And if it was a day or so late I just assumed it was due to me stopping BC, planning a wedding, getting married and me changing jobs. It is almost June now and I have not had my period for May yet. I am 3 1/2 weeks late. I took a HPT after a few days of being late and it was negative. I took another one at 1 week late and it was negative. At week 2 I took a third test and it was negative. Two days later I saw my GYN and did a urine and a blood test. The urine test came back positive. I asked if she was sure and explained all the negative tests. She said it was faint but it was positive. We discussed the basics like diet and my sleep habits. I expressed that I have a fear of miscarriage. She then explained that the test being faint could be due to a miscarriage. But she seemed sure I was pregnant. Two days later her office called me back with the results of the blood test. It was negative. I then explained everything to the nurse who called me. She said to return in a week to redue the blood work. I have no pain, no cramping, and have not had any pregnancy symptoms. However my husband thinks my breasts are larger. I noticed very minor spotting only when I wiped on 3 separate occasions. Today I returned to the doctor to redue my blood work. I should know in a few days. I guess I am just confused. If I am pregnant why are the tests coming back negative? If I am not pregnant why have I not had my period? If I have miscarried shouldn’t I have had it by now? Any thoughts on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
wow im having the same problem.. like i was suppose to have my period in may and now i still dont have it.. ive token 4pregnancy test and all negitive.. when i eat my stomach becomes horrible in pain were i can barley breathe. even when i drink water it hurts.. i get dizzy and faint like when i take showers and i feel like i wanna throw up if im in the car or when its hot outside.. i was on depo but that was 1 year and a half ago only took it once i have never used a condom, ive only been with one man my husband. im 21 on the 28th of june. i dont know what to do. i have no incurance and i cant find a free clinic and more and more i thnk about it it hurts more.. would planned parenthood check me out? since it has something to do witrh my period.? please help

Hi,
My wife have not had her period since two months, she had a problem of delayed mensuration (Periods) before the marriage too, but this time its prolonged.
she took the pregnancy test at home as well as at laboratory (urine & blood) but both were negative.
my wife is taking a pain killer and multi vitamin medicine since four months as she is suffering from a spine fracture. besides this..
she gained almost 10 kgs in last six months as she had to take a rest for spine fracture.
and she was little bit stressed too because of pain.
she never took a contraceptive pills in her life.
she had lots of milk, coconut water, calcium rich fruits & vegetables in last two months.
breast is larger.
I have two concerns..
1.) shall we see the doctor for irregular periods or wait?
2.) if she continues to have her period irregularly, is there a chance of she having a difficulty in conceiving a child in future?
Hello I am 21 years old and I have never been sexually active, the last 71/2 months I have not had my period, I went to my drs and he put me on b/c for 2 months to regulate it but nothing happened so he put me on progesterone for a week and still nothing so he tried again 2 weeks later and nothing. I need some feed back on what I should do cause my dr is giving up and won’t send me to see someone else

Hi.
Am 21 years old and am sexual active. I have had sex alot this month (yes that means cum as well) and I have not had my period yet and tomorrow is the 1st of june and that will be the end of the month, I usually have my period near the end of the month but nothing has came. I have been having some back and stomach pains which I usually get when my period is coming so is that a sign for something else? I haven’t took a pregancy test yet, should I take one ot more? Am getting quite nerves but I have also had an bad month with lots of problems with family and friends so I have been stress too, so it could be because of that? I have explained to my boyfriend and he thinks it’s just because am stressed but am not sure.
Please help.
Michelle
Any time you let a boy come in you, you need to have a pregnancy test ready. That’s just common sense!
I have miss my period for the last 3weeks, i had unprotected sex on the 21 5 day to my expected date to menstrate but till now i have seen nothing coming. I have done urine test up to 3 times and serum test all reveal negative what would have been the cause. Help
Hi , i was just askin if i should be scared .
I messed my period its been a month already.
My bf and had unprotected sex last month. But we done it couple of times and
i havent gotten pregnate ,should i be worried now ?
YES you should be worried. All it takes is ONE time of unprotected sex to get pregnant! Just because it didn’t happen the first time, or the second time, or the 5th time, doesn’t mean it can’t happen the 6th time!

hey, im 19 years old. ive never had sex. its impossible that im pregnant. i havent had my period in about 4 months now. I used to be a competiive figure skater and so my period was all over they place. now that i have slowed down my excerising they started to become more regular, and then all of a sudden they stopped.
what do you think it is?
should i go on birth control to regulate it?
I’m also 19, I’ll be 20 on the 21st. I have had maybe 10-15 periods my whole life. I’m not on birth control and I am sexually active. I know I’m not pregnant, tests were negative. I just don’t know why I hardly have a period. I have maybe 1 a year if I am lucky. Although I’ve never been to the gyno, I’m sure they’re going to tell me I’m messed up.
Just wanted some answers to why I’m not having a period like everyone else.
So i really messed my pills up.. Taking random ones for a few weeks because i didnt wanna waste the pack for a new one. I just kept taking them and didnt even realize i had tp have my period but i had no idea when… I know big mess. So i stopped tsking it for a vouple weeks and still had no period. I am on an antidepressant but tjis never happened with my previous anti anxiety. I started a new pack of pills last sun and feel completely bloated… I felt like i was losing when i stopped. Im 23 and have been on alesse since i was 15 now im wondering should i just stop them altogetjrr and wait for my period? I cant deal with being bloated.. Plz help
Good Morning,
I am almost 2 weeks late and have had 2 negative hpt. I did go on a crash diet (cabbage soup diet) I did eat during this diet it just limits what you can eat. That was strated just after my last period at the end of april (around 25). I have a pretty regular cycle (31-32 days). I think that I am going to miss my period because of this diet? My best friend sis it with me and she got hers like clockwork. Should I wait to see if I miss my next period? Then go see the doctor?

Hey im Stacey
I had my last period on the 1st April 2012 and it lasted around 3-4 days.
Then I was due around the 29th-30th May but no period came.
It is now the 2nd June and I am 5 weeks late tomorrow,
My periods are always regular and always within 28-30 days.
Ive took 7 HPT including 2 clear blue’s.
All came back negative
I have PCOS which means it could effect my period but i have had this 2 year and it has not effected me once and the doctor said this is not causing my abdominal pains , late period or back pains.
Im quite worried,
Could someone possibly e-mail me on stacehrawr@hotmail.co.uk
if you think you have any tips or hellp for me
i will appreciate it
Thanks!

Go see your doctor for a urine pregnancy test.

It may be your stress that is causing your missed period. If you miss 3 months in a row, I’d advise you to go see a doctor.
Hey
I am 21 years old and I have been off the pill for just over 2 months now and have had regular periods since. I am 2 weeks late and I am very confused and worried as I have taking numerous amounts of pregnancy tests and they have all been negative. This has me worried as I have most of the symptoms for pregnancy apart from vomiting. I have been to the doctors and they aren’t sure if I am pregnant or not I was told to go back after 4 weeks but I don’t think I can wait that long. Can anyone help?
Did you get a urine pregnancy test?
I’m a teenager and I don’t think I had mine last month. I’m and haven’t had sex so I was kinda worried. But this explains it.
I’m a teen 15, 16 in augest and it’s been months since my last period,I have never been sexually active.Today I thought I got my period today but after a few hours with a pad nothing I’m starting to get worried should I be concerned what should I do?
It might be normal, depending on when you started having your period. Try not to stress though. Go see a doctor if you are concerned.
Im Pam. 24 years old. im still wondering why i dont still have my period. my Last menstrual period was April 30. and until now its June 5, my period doesnt come yet. i only had sex with my bf last June 1. since i know im safe i let him cummed in me. is there a possibility that i will get pregnant? why is it until now i dont have mines. im now delayed for 7-8 days. it is the first time.that im delayed for a week.
I highly recommend that you take a home pregnancy test, or contact your doctor for a urine pregnancy test.
I’m 20 years old, in March after my menstrual cycle and pack of birth control pills were finished, I decided I didn’t want to take them anymore because I was not sexually active. But ever since that last cycle in March, I have not had another period. Can I still become pregnant this way? Is there something wrong with me?
Sometimes it takes a little while before your cycle goes back to normal, due to the hormones from the pill. But if you are not taking any pills, or using any contraceptives during sex, then yes, you can get pregnant.
My last period started on January 27, 2012 and lasted for about 5 days. I have not seen another one since My cycle is pretty irregular as in it would usually come every 40 days or so or it would skip a month. I am extremely worried something is wrong with me . I haven’t been to the doctor because of this fear. My bf and i have been trying for a baby for a long time and nothing. i cry about this every time i think about it
im 46 and have not had a period since 16 feb 2012 i went to doctor in oct 2011 and he done ovulation bloodtest and it came back very good he said to me i dont think you are in your menopause yet and the ovulation bloodtest result came back very high for my age so if anyone out ther is going through same problem please let me no of any more info i dont no wether to go back and see my doctor yet as he said they wont do any more tests until you have gone a year without a period im quite anxious thankyou
Hi, I am 19 years old. I got my period when I was 12 and it has been fairly regular for the past several years. I missed my period this month. After it was just a couple days late I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I waited a couple more days and took another pregnancy test, which was also negative. My past two periods before this one were both late and shorter than usual. I have had some pain in my lower stomach for a little over two weeks now, which is around when my period should I have started, I initially assumed the pain was just cramps. Should I go see my doctor even though I’ve only missed one period? Other than the missed period itself, nothing particularly stressful has been going on lately and I have had no recent change in my weight or exercise habits so Im not really sure why I would miss one.
I am 22 years old and had my periods regular till the age of 18. Since 18, my periods been irregular. I am overweight. I started my physical/sexual activity about 1 and half year ago.

Hello!
I am just curious, I am 19 years old, just graduated with honors, and I have been without a period since I think last December. I do not believe I could be pregnant because I haven’t had sex in a year and half. I am getting concerned that something is very wrong, and honestly I am really scared. I have blamed in on stress the past few months, but I have no excuses now. In fact, missing my period is stressing me out more than college is!!! Help PLEASE!
I know this might be a long shot.
I am 26. I had an early miscarriage in early March, and a light period early April. Its now mid-June and nothing.
I am highly stressed, and believe hormones are still off since miscarriage.
I would like to see a gyno, but my doctor refuses to refer me (long story) (very sexist doctor) without ultra-sounds showing a problem.
I’d like to get pregnant again, but waiting for a period is killing me. I don’t have PCOS.
My question, is how long should I wait before this is a problem?
I missed 3 random periods last year due to stress, along with months of nausea (wasn’t pregnant).. doctor is no help..
Hi!im 20.had protected sex on the 13th of may.the last time i got my period was on the 28th of april.im two weeks late.took a pregnancy test but it came out negative..im realy worried and stressed..last yr i missed my periods for 5 mnths due to an inhormonal balance..i also got irritable bowel sydrome and i gain and lose weight quite a lot..could i be pregnant or is this another medical problem.please help..
Hi. I was wondering if it is at all possible to have sore breasts and other PMS-like symptoms right before your normal due date, but then have no actual period (menstruation, et. al.) to back it up once you get to that precise due date (and the week following it)? :S
I only have had sex once, and it was 7 years ago, and I have been completely inactive ever since, so I am NOT pregnant. Unless it’s by immaculate conception or something. *small lol* I also walked around a whole bunch on the day before I was due. (Somethig I don’t normally do a lot of.) And it was VERY hot and sunny on that day as well. Not that I think that latter part had anything to do with why I’m late. Just wanted to give you the full skinny (read: full list of details) about the situation.
Thanks again!

Hello Im a 30 year old female with pancratitis and take Zenpep. Last month my grandma 5/28 passed and I had my period for a day and now this month I just came on for a split second and now its gone. I was wondering if the medication has something to do with it. I never ever miss any of my periods
i am 20 years old. its been a long time like 4,5 mths that my period has stopped but i am not pregnant.. i dont know wats work..
I usually have a period either every 6,9,12,or 15 months around the 1st of what ever month. Recently I have been taking care of a child (thats not mine) from birth til now 9 1/2 months and I havent had a period in almost 2yrs. Im a vegetarian, 19 yrs old, work every day literally, no longer in extra curricular activities, irregular sleeping patterns, not sexually active, and I’m about 5’6″ and about 159lbs, does any of these things have an effect on my period or should I rush to the emergency room?
By the way I cant afford any test or special treatment what should I do?
Hi. this is extremely urgent so i would appreciate a prompt reply:
So, i`m 14 and got my period when i was 12. I turn 15 in september this year. And although my periods have never been completely regular, i`m finding my current situation to be way more severe. The last time i had my period was january this year and even that was much lighter than usual. since then i have had very little spotting and almost now indication of a period since April. I am 100% sure i am not pregnant as i have not participated in any sexual activity at any point in my life. Weight loss, however, could be a possibility but i am not entirely convinced. I did lose something like 3 kilos (from 60 down to 56.5kg) but i doubt that is enough to make a difference. I consulted my sister who is studying medicine and is in her third year. That was at the beginning of April and at that point she said not worry as her periods were very irregular when she was my age, too. But since then i have been extremely preoccupied and have not had time to seriously think about it until now. PLEASE, PLEASE reply because i am in serious stress mode right now and am living thousands of miles away from my family on exchange and so am feeling extremely vulnerable. Thanks.
i got my periods in december and january but since febraury i have not got them .what to do?
Hello,
I am 15, almost 16 years old now, i started my period the end of last year and sence i just started they were semi regular but i havent had my period for about 3 months now and im kinda worried. I have never had sex before but i dont know what it could honestly be. They say when you have discharge its usually 1 tablespoon, and i have usually more then that, also it kinda smells. Is there something wrong with? Should i go see someone? I have told my mom and she thinks its just because im small and i just started the end of last year that they are going to be unregular. I weigh 108pounds and am 5foot 6inches. Can you please help me!!! Im very worried i may have something! By the way you can tell that i have gotten a bigger stomach sence the start of this year. And the start of this last school year i weighed 96 pounds now im about 110.!! Please do help me ASAP!! thanks so much!
Hi,
I’m 13 years old and my first period was 3 months ago. I havnt had one since then. I’m really worried and I don’t know what to do. Any advice? Iv never had sex or anything I’m just worried since I havnt had it for a few months. Please answer back quickly! And my first period was really heavy so I dOnt know if that has anything to do with it.
Heyy don’t worry they’re always irregular to start of with, some people have their first one, and then don’t have their second until as much as a year later. If you’ve never had sex, I wouldn’t worry. This, of course, is just assuming you haven’t because it’s against the law when you’re 13.
But I’m not a doctor – I’m also a 13 year old so idk lol
Hi Dr. Nguyen,
I am 21 years old and have had a history of irregular periods because of my active lifestyle. However, I have quit playing soccer and it has been over a year since I have trained rigorously for it. Therefore, I am not as active as I used to be so my periods should most likely be regular by now. The last time I had my period was 6 months ago in January. I have not had any spotting what so ever. I have taken a pregnancy test and I have tested negative. I plan to make a doctors appointment asap but I would like to see what you think about this. I have never gone 6 months without a period, the most was about 3.
Have a huge question…i had unprotected sex with my husband 12days for 4 days straight before my last spotting period (only time i had sex because of work out of state)came for 8 days very light period, now this month i am 6 days late can i still be pregnant or is it stress what made me miss my period, its just weird that last month i had a very light , can i still be pregnant?
Hi,nice to read your site here,its really a help.
I just want to ask related to this. I had my period last April 27,and its normally ended after 3 to 4 days. Last month of May,i never had a period,and me and my husband don’t use any protection anymore,as we plan to have a baby.I had a test at home but the result is negative.Then first week of this month June, i was bleeding,for 3 days,only bleed every morning.Will that be my period for month of May and it was just delayed? Will i still have period again this month?It was first time to happen to me not to have a period every month,as before my period is normal.Hope you can answer this,i am really confused.
Thanks and good luck,
christine
Hi My gf is worried whether she is preg or not .

Hi!
So, I had unprotected intercourse like 6 weeks ago (I’m estimating), he didn’t come inside me, tough, I took the morning-after pill the next morning, less than 14 hours had passed since intercourse. One week later I had a totally normal period but now I am missing this month’s one. Could I be pregnant?
Hi, I’m 13 years old. I had my first period in April 2011 and they sort of became more regular from December onwards. They usually come about once every 35 days, but it has been a month since my period was due, and it hasn’t come. I have been quite stressed out, and haven’t really been eating properly, so if I eat healthily and stop stressing, will my periods start again? (Also, I’d just like to clarify it’s impossible that I’m pregnant – I’ve never had sex.)
Hi! i am 14 years old and i have had my period for a year and a half now. i started in December 2011 and after that cycle i didn’t have a period for six months. It came back very heavy but continued to get lighter every cycle. But here is my problem i am going on vacation the first week of august and i am supposed to start in late July my period is six days long and always 14 days late which mean i will be on my period for vacation and that would suck. Is there any way to delay it even more? i know its bad to delay it but i really want to have fun and relax on vacation. any ideas? also you said if your cycle is more than 40 days you should see a doctor. Well, mine is 42-45 days… it has always been like that. is it a problem? what would be wrong?
hi
i had an operation to have wisdom teeth removed on the 11th of may and my period was due on the 12th it is now the 17th and there is still no sign of them, my cycle is normally on the button but not this time, im just wondering would the operation or medication(oxynorm a morphine based pain killers) stop them comin and if so when do you think they will come.
thanks
Hi, I’m 23 years old and my husband has been abroad for over a year so I figured since he wasn’t here and wouldn’t be having sex why pay $25 a pack for birth control so I went off it at the end of December, had a period a few days later, and again the next month, but nothing for the past three months! I’m definitely not pregnant, I’ll be it my life’s very stressful right now, my husband and I had a baby 18 months ago could it just be a hormonal imbalance due to the pregnancy and going off of birth control? I also FEEL like I’ve got my period ie: cramps, bloating, irritability once a month right around the time I normally would menustrate.
How about this Iam 39 had 4 kids got my tubes cut and burnt 9yrs ago day after having my son. May 2012 had my cycle had sex with my boyfriend right after. A week later I had a 2 cycle we also had sex before it then again after. Here it is June still havent had a cycle even tho iam supposed to be fixed i still did a test and it was neg. We had sex yesterday iam about 7 days late and this morning i feel sick tired and my lower abdomen feels wierd. What can cause this? Is it still possible for me to get pregnant?
Update now 9 days late now have dissyness and lightheaded. Lower abdomin still feel wierd like a period may start but not. Still nasious eat but dont have a real appitite and moody and sleepy.
13 day late noe hpt still neg.
It finally came at fourteen days late. Real heavy and brite brite red looks like should be done in two more days making it a five day after waiting thirtyfive days from last cycle. Still like to know what caused it.

Hi there,
Just been reading all the above comments and wonder if you can give me some advice.
Begining of 2011 i was diagnosed with PCOS, so me and my partner decided in october last year to come off of my pill as it could take us a while to conceive nautrally. Since stopping my periods became regular every 36 days and bled for 5 days.(apart from certain pills and the depo always had periods)
how ever my last period was on the 26th feb 2012 and ive have nothing since. I have taken a number of hpt’s but all saying negative, also had blood test done too but also negative. I have had sypthoms of pregnancy but not sure if its my mind playing tricks on me because i want baby so much. Im awaiting to go for an ultra sound to either check to make sure im 100% not pregnant and to make sure nothing more serious is up.
do you have any advice or anything for me??
Thanks

I’m on Depo Provera for about 6 years. I’m 27 years of age and me and my husband are tyrying to conceive. I’ve had my last shot on January the 5th this year. So its almost 6 months since my last shot. It feels though I do get period pains from about 2 weeks ago but no period as yet. How long more or less can it take for me to menstruate again and ovulate to fall pregnant? And by when should I start to panic?
I countiniously used emergency contraceptive Postinor for 4 months, the 5th month I stopped and my period was irregular, after that I’ve missed two periods. I took a test and it’s negative. What could be the cause?

I recently found out that my thyroid level is 9.. Started on synthroid a week and a half ago, also started on birth control pills at the same time. No chance of pregnancy. Also jumped from 110 to 120 in a month and a half (one of the reasons they found the thyroid problem). My period has been so regular for the last couple months, every 28 days almost to the hour. Glad to know these isssues I’m having could be the reason. Plus the stress I’ve been having doesn’t help. I haven’t been able to lose any lbs with exercise or eating better so that’s been really stressful. Haven’t been this big since I was pregnant..
hi im 16 years old! I stared having periods when i was 11! For over a year now i have not had one! at first i didnt care because i hated them! and i felt fine with out them! but over the pass 3 or 4 months things have changed! im always really mad at the world or sad for no reason at all! i cant control my feelings! i dont know what to do! iv been to the doctor and had blood work done and had a ultrasound done to cheack for sisk! every thing came back fine! i was glad to hear that! but every thing keeps getting worse, i went back to the doctor last monday and he put me on some med. called zoloft, i tool it every day as the doctor told me for 5 days. the med.s began to make me feel dizzy, made my heart race, and gave me a bad head ache, so i stoped taking it! what do you suggest i do?
my period was on time but it was light.. and brown discharge ( but ive always had brown discharge since i started when i was little ) I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative! I have been stressed out lately due to fighting with my boy friend and i always have frequent anxiety attacks. i also have had light periods before in the past to.. do you think i still could be pregnant? or am i just worrying to much.
thanks
Hi, I’m 16 (almost 17) and I have a lot of problems with my period. I started having my periods when I was about 12 and I had them for a little over a year before they simply disappeared. My family went through a really stressful time (my parents divorced rather brutally and then we moved a lot). I also gained weight during this time. When I was 14 I moved down to live with my dad, and about a year later I had a period. For the last year and a half or so, I’ve had really irregular periods. (I went to the doctors for tests. They gave me an ultrasound, checked my ovaries, and a bunch of blood tests and they didn’t find anything) Starting January of this year to March I had regular periods, they were almost within the 28 day cycle. Then they stopped and I haven’t had any sign of one. I’m not sure what’s going on, can you help?
Hi, so ive had a regular period since i was 12 and three quarters. It was regular, i had a normal flow, for an average of 5 days every month. Then i began to masturbate. And gradually over a period of time, i started to miss it. I would only have it every other month. I masturbated less and less and then stopped all together. I havent had my period in three months. Im no longer sexually active. I had sex once in January, but its now June and ive taken several pregnancy tests and there is no sign of me gaining any weight. Ive actually been losing wieght. im kind of freaking out and afraid to tell my mom. I might be getting paraniod but i dont want it to affect me having kids i the future! Please tell me whats going on!
Hi DP NGuyen,
I am 40 yrs. old. I did reverse tubaligation 2 years ago and was introduced to Chlomid last year. I have taken it for three months and since then my period has been more late than early. I am trying to get pregnant but as is I am 15 days late and not pregnant. Any idea?
Thanks
hi, im 13 and obviously still a virgin… i started my period a year ago and since then my periods been on a normal schedule but, i haven’t had my period this month or last month! i know im not pregnant and im really not stressed about anything… my mom said that when she was younger she had a osist (or something like that.. im not sure how its spelled) on one of her ovaries which caused her to miss a couple periods so her doctor suggested that she went on a birth control pill and it helped her regulate her schedule… do you think that her problem could be hereditary? Maybe that’s the reason im missing a couple periods? every month i get cramps, and things like that, like as if im about to go on my period even when i didnt. my mom said she is going to take me to the doctor to talk to her but i think it would be nice to have someone elses opion too. thanks a lot. -lauren

Hi, I still haven’t come on my period for late month and I’m getting kind of worried now:-( what’s happening?:S:/:-(
I’m 18, turning 19 in one month. My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and we have not actually had sex yet, but we have done things such as oral sex and other forms of forplay. I have not had my period since the middle of april or beginning of may, I can’t really remember. Anyway, I havent had my period since I was still in school, which ended in may. The past couple days I have been a bit nausiated. Now, I am going to college in august, so I could just be very stressed out, but I can’t help but be nervous, and wonder “what if something happened when we were fooling around?” is it even possible that I could be pregnant, even knowing I have yet to have sexual intercourse? or am I just stressed?
I am 23 an from I was 17 or 18 I was havin irregular period I was ashame because I was always self conscience about my body. I went to the doctor last year and pcos was ruled out an I took a scan there is no cist. But my gyno put me on diane 35 which made my period come normal again until I recently stop takin them and the miss is back I am tryin to get pregnant so anyting will help.

Hello, I am 20 years old and I am not having my period since last year. In fact I was pregnant and I had to abort the child by operation method on the 18th February 2012. Since that day, I did not get my period at all. I took medicine as well but still nothing. I am afraid that I can’t get pregnant. Is there any risk? What shall I do?I went to see several doctors but in vain. Please help me.
Thank you

Had Unprotected Sex Two Months Ago No Period Yet No Morning Sickness Or Other Pregnancy Sighns Whats Going On ?
hello, i’m 16 i have had sex twice with the same guy but we are no longer together after my first time i got scared as i usually do and took a test to be safe because my period was one day late but it was negative and my period came soon after i did not take a test after the second time i had sex but have had my period quite regulated after it. i have a new boyfriend now and we have not had sex but have fooled around with and without a condom. both times there was no ejaculation and from what i noticed not even precum it seemed pretty dry. and i had a period after all of this but now my period is on the third day of being late which is weird for me i have had my period for about 3 years now or a little more. i do not take birth control or have used any other methods but condom and pulling out. i don’t think i could be pregnant but i’m scared i do not feel sick in the morning and my breast feel normal. i have gained some weight but that could also be cause of stress and the fact that i have been eating horribly the last month things like fast food, poutine, gravy’s, fries and pizza. i’m also not a small person to begin with and have always gained weight easily. another thing is stress i recently got my first job and there is so much to learn and i started out hating it making it very hard on myself. and my school marks and exams also just ended which was very stressfull. lastly i have a habit of olding my urine lately it has been going on for 3 months maybe i do it mostley cause im lazy or no bathroom close to me. this as caused me to go to the bathroom more and more so that woudl either be bladder infection or pregnancy. my back and under my right boob has been sore a bit also but it is not my boob that has been hurting more less my side but it coudl also be beause i sleep in my wire bra and never take it off. i need help there is so much going through my head!
I had a cone biopsy in February of this year, i’m not on any birth control and have been having unprotected sex, no medications or treatments of any kind i’m not even taking vitamins. i have anemia, but i have never missed a period except when i was pregnant with my daughter who is now four, i took two pregnantcy test already and both came up negetive, it is now july, going on four months. What can be caused of this?
Hey guys, i usually have my periods quiet regularly and alot, i did a stupid mistake, well i dont know how to explain it, well me and my bf were unprotected and he put it in once…not even fully and it was like 3 days before my exams, i dont know maybe its stress but i missed my period for about 40 days now…i dont know what to do, i didnt have the “bleeding” that is ment to occur during pregnancy, my breasts are not hurtin and i dont have morning sicknessed but i m stressing out so much, me and my bf thinking of taking a test but i m even scared to look at it. So my question is, is it possible that i m pregnant or is just stress, like false alarm…

Hi,
My name is Danielle and I’m 23 years old. I haven’t had a period since november, and it is now July. My periods slowly started getting further apart, but never went longer than 3 months before this. I have never been on the pill. I had gone to my pervious family doctor about this numerous times who told me that it wasn’t a big deal. I now have a new family doctor who did an ultrasound of my pelvic area and said that my ovaries are “bulky” which suggests I may have PCOS.
The problem is, that ultrasound was in April. I’m still waiting to hear back from the gyno on when they will have an appointment available for me…
So my question is: if this IS PCOS, and it hasn’t been detected or treated since I started getting irregular periods(age 15), what type of damage could be caused? Nobody seems to be taking it seriously, and I want to have children, very soon.
I am really worried that there is something wrong. Is there any other reasons that you can think of that would cause this?
Thanks so much
Danielle
Im 16 and I’ve been having protected sex with my boyfriend for a while now. But Im worried that I might be pregnant since my period is a week late. I did start working out 5 days a week to get ready for preseason in school.
Can you help me out and tell me why my period is late?
hi i am sana ,my age 23 year but 26 may is last date of my periods,not married and today 9 july but not comming periods…….. what you suggestion me………….. thanks
Hi
My concern is that about a month and a half ago I had my last period. But was also pretty light. I still took it as my period, even if it came two weeks after the one before it, which was also light. I haven’t been on any birth control, for 3 years now. But hadn’t went through missing a period, all this time. Though there was a little accident about two weeks ago, so I went to get the Plan B. But I usually have my periods around the 20th or 22nd. Took two pregnancy tests a week apart, and the results were not pregnant. So I dont know if I might be pregnant. I’m concerened if I might have gotten pregnant when I took the Plan B and if it can harm the baby.I mean, I’m still feeling a little bit of cramps but nothing comes down. I guess I should also say I haven’t been eating as well as I used too. Do you think you can help me out on what might be going on?
Hi
I’m 16 and i’m a month late on my period, there’s no way that i could be pregnant because i’m a virgin. Last month i got two periods!! and this month it’s late. I lost 7kg from 50kg to 43kg and i think i’m not too thin. Is this normal? I can’t tell my mum because she would think that i’m pregnant even though i tell her that i’m a virgin cuz she won’t believe me. I’m scared to death now!! Can anyone help me out??
Hello,
I was on the pill for about 15 years because my periods were irregular, I was bleeding too much. I was getting periods too frequently and very heavy and my iron was too low which is why I started on the pill. I am overweight and as a result I was diagnosed with PCOS but I never really believed it because normally you miss your periods rather than get your period too often and no cysts were seen in my ultrasound. Anyways I recently got married and came off the pill and my last period ended May 16 meaning I have missed 2 periods so far. I did many home tests and a blood test all coming back negative. I know that stopping the pill causes irregularities however normally when I stopped the pill in the past I would start bleeding within 2 weeks. I am not sure what to think or what the cause of me missing my periods… is it possible that I am pregnant even if after 2 months the tests show negative? Thanks
Hello, not quite freaking out yet but still concerned. I’m 19 (almost 20), healthy weight, moderately healthy diet, on the pill, but kind of a mix of days where I’m stressed and frustrated to the point of tears and others practically on Cloud 9 I’m so happy with how my life is going right now. Recently my father was hospitalized after an at home cardiac arrest, which I came home to after a weekend trip back in May; needless to say, very stressful and almost traumatizing. My grandmother has also been in poor health as well, adding strain on the household being out a “babysitter” for my Austic brother while my mother’s at work full time and I’m a student full time as well. More stress. But now they’re steadily getting better.
Now, I’m not sexually active and stress levels have started to drop, but still no period and 40 days late. There has been MAYBE three days of spottig with very light flow, kinda brownish discharge in between and I get the feeling that’s not going to change anytime soon and that I’m probably going to skip yet another month. The program I’m in at school is very time sensitive, only a 9 month program with 1000 hours to complete, so I’m trying to avoid having to miss a day for a doctor’s appointment as long as I possibly can. Any clue on a reason why my period has yet to resume with things being on the up and up and stress going down?
Hello there, it would mean so much if someone can give me some guidance with this.
I’m 18 years old , i am not pregnant and i have never taken contraceptive pills. Okay so my 1st experience with missing a period was last year in which I didnt get my period for 5 months straight, I did visit the gynecologist and she prescribed provera which I took for about a week or two ( can’t remember) but after that I did get my period as I should for the next two or 3 months and after that I stopped getting it again, I now have not had my period for 3 months, going on my 4th month. All this has caused me somewhat bad acne, which was my primary concern but after having done a lot of reading and research on this I am now very worried about the possibility of having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), all this is very confusing to me, considering the fact that I’m only 18 so any kind of word of advice is appreciated. Thank you for any who took the time to read this.
hi Im 19 and i was on microgynon or something like that. but me and my partner was thinking we wanted to try for a baby. after a week of unprotected sex we came to our senses and started using condoms (i didn’t want to go back on the pill). i came on 31 days after my last period which is about right compared to when i wasn’t on contraceptives about 2 years ago.
we used condoms every time we had sex last month apart from 2 occasions (which happened to be around the time i should of been ovulatin). one of these times half of itwent in and then he pulled out and the other time it all went he because he was too excited.
it has now been 40 days without a period waiting until day 45 to take a test.
Im rubbish at noticing period symptoms so not sure if Im in my usual due on state. i have noticed my discharge has been changing lately, I’ve experienced egg white looking and more of a creme egg looking (haha)
do you think i could be pregnant?
pleaseeee help !!
i took a pregnancy test it was negative so I’ve booked a doctors appointment. I’ve been getting bursts of sicky feeling and tired at work apart from that, no change :s
well i came on today so Im just going to put it down to a sickness bug and irregular periods

Hi, I’m 18 years old. Recently my new boyfriend and I had protected sex, for the 2nd time.. However, when he pulled out, the condom got stuck half in, half out of me.. I pulled the rest out immediately obviously and he checked to see if it broke, it did not. But we are still really nervous. I have been so scared I’m making myself sick.. My period is now around 4 days late, I don’t always have the most regular period, and I never thought much to watch it until recently and I am athletic. With the events as of now, I felt the need to ask your opinion, do you think I’m pregnant.
Hi, am 24yrs old married and really TTC, i have always had regular period until last year when i missed my period for 1mth(april) then its came back (may)2nd mth (very light 3/4days), then missed its again(june) then came back july, then missed for aug,sep,oct. its came back again early Nov, then a redish dark spotting dec31/jan2. Feb and march was normal and since then till now july/12 nothing..:(
. I have done different test and my ob/gyn said am just fine,that nothing is wrong with me, now my ob/gyn prescribed provera/clomid recently. am really confused, does anyone has similar problem or has anyone used this medications before, help help help.
Hi I hope u have an answer for me I am verry different from most girls my situation is my first period was when I was 16 from there I would get every4 to 5 months the thing is that I have 3kidss now a 6, 2years and 6 month with my first obe I think I went a whole year w/o my period then it went back to “my regular” then I had my 2 one I was using protection but I took it out acnd I got pnant with my now baby tha was in dec 2011 I am protecting my self with condom all the times but ever since I had her I havent gotten my period I kno its not normal its never being and its frustrating because I kno a woman needs to get her period wat should I do and why am I like this.
hi,
I had sex with my boyfriend a bit more than a month ago, and he used a condom, and still i wasn’t sure everything was safe so i took the plan B pill the morning after, i am not on any birthcontrol. then i had my period a week later, it so happened that i got hospitalized and i had a surgery done, bone and tissue surgery. and now my period is late, i can’t help worrying that somehow i might still be pregnant, and now i am stressing about this, and maybe the medications i was on in the hospital caused this, i also was on painkillers for a few days. i really don’t know why it’s late, i never missed a period before and it was never late before
I doubt that you are pregnant. Try not to worry. If you are still worried, though, take a home pregnancy test. Yes, soemtimes medications can make our periods off. And being sick, having surgery, and all that stress can also delay your period.
Um, hi…
So, I’m 14 and I’m just about to enter high school. I haven’t ever had any type of sex or anything, not even a boyfriend. I just started January 9th of this year, and mt period did do some skipping around, I’ll admit. But my last period was June 10th and I haven’t gotten mine yet. I know people say being underweight can do it, but I think I’m very much overweight. I’m almost 15 and I’m 114 lbs.
But I have been trying to lose weight since school for me starts in 11 days. I’ve gone from 126 lbs as of June 1st, to 114 as of today. Can that be a big enough weight loss to stop my period? Please respond, I’m really worried :\
I don’t know how tall you are, but being 114 pounds is NOT fat. Although sometimes, dieting and exercise and weight loss can make you stop having periods… So that may be a reason that your periods are off-sih. I would go see a doctor, if you are worried.
Hi, I had a question that is more related to erratic periods. I’m 26 years old and my periods have always been regular and I have also been on the NuvaRing continuously for the last 4 years. What’s bothering me is that my periods have been getting shorter. On birth control they have always been 3 days long. This April is was only 2 days, May was only 1 day, June it skipped altogether & now July it lasted about an hour. I’m going to see my gynecologist, but I’m out of town and won’t be able to see her for a couple of weeks. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or anything similar. Pregnancy, weight gain/loss, medication except for birth control & drug use can all be ruled out. Thanks!
Im not pregnant because i havent had sex why havent i had my period for 2 months
Lots of things can cause your period to be late, such as stress, illness, rigorous exercise, etc. I recommend you going to see a doctor to figure out why you haven’t had your period in 2 months.
hello, i am 23 years old. My husband and I are trying to have a baby. Well this time, i am 3 months late. ive missed 3 periods already and did a blood test which is negative. all my results are normal but my period is not starting. i was wondering if there is still a possibility i am pregnant?
Thanks.
