Reasons for missed period

[joane]

Hi
Are there any other reasons for missing a period,Im a week late anyway-any other reasons apart from pregnancy?Ive been eating normally I think,and I think Im as stressed as this usually anyway.So..any ideas?Thanks

Joane
There can be many reasons for a skipped or late period.  Stress, worry, illness, or just hormones gone awry temporarily.

Did you ever take that HPT?  You were going to.  If it was neg, try to relax a bit and not worry.  If you still haven't gotten it in another week, test again, being sure to use a first morning urine and follow the test directions exactly.

I hope things work out for you Joane.

Hi
Thanks everyone for their advice- I got my period exactly one week late- better late than never! I'm so relieved and realised I was being quite stupid- and didnt really have anything to worry about. However, it's hard not to worry a lot in that position and having you guys here to answer my questions and reassure me helped so much. Thank you so much everyone. X

ok so im 16 and havent had my period in three months and im not pregnant....wheat r some posabilities and is there anything i can do?

[confused62006]

Im 16 also. when i was 14 i had missed a peroid for 3 months straight. When i went to the doctors they told me i had a really bad kidney infection that i couldn't feel. Go to the doctors and check it out. A missed peroid can pretty much mean anything. Infections, Illnesses, Problems. you should just go to the doctors and get it checked out.

good luck hun =]

Hi, I'm 13 and the last period I had ended in late June. I think I am about a week or more late, but I'm not sure since I don't really "calendar" my periods. Anyway, all I know is that I should have gotten it recently, but I havent. I KNOW I'm not pregnant, so why is my cycle screwed up? My doctor said that the first year of that you have your period is messed up because your still new to it, but I got my period in April of '05, so I should be normal by now. I just need to know if there is something wrong, and if so, if I should consult a doctor. Thanks for all your help!

HI IM 17 YEARS OLD AND I HAVENT GOTTEN MY PERIOD FOR 4 MONTHS...IM NOT PREGNANT IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME..IM SO SCARED ..MY PERIOD DOESNT COME NORMAL BUT THE LONGES IVE GONE WITH OUT IT ITS 2 MONTHS WHATS WRONG I NEED HELP...IM TO SHY TO TELL MY MOM..ABOUT IT..

[Linda10]

I really hope that you've gotten advice from someone. If you haven't and you don't feel comfortable telling your mom then go to Planned Parenthood. They provide a great service and they're confidential. But you really should see a doctor...it could be nothing your body is still changing but you always have a better chance if something is caught early. So please don't wait anymore and schedule an apt.

Good luck.

i recently got hurt playing a sport and was told a pulled lower abdominal muscle, but now im thinking i could have a hernia or somthing else wrong with me!.. could any of this affect my period?

[lizet]

hi
I am already 12 days late on my period. That has never happend to me before. i know that i am not pregnant. i do however feel a pain on the bottom left side of my stomach. I am wondering what that could be. But other than that i have not had any menstrual cramps or anything.

[rawr2008]

i am 17 and i am 23 days late on my period now. i know im not pregnant because i havent had sex since june and we used protection and i got my period for june july and august. i have though been feeling a little nauseated and feeling like throwing up the last few days and sometimes  all day. i did kind of lost weight but not a lot now i weight 110 i dont know if that could be a reason i only lost 10 pounds. so do you have an idea why i missed my period?  

[MOPHEAD]

if you havnt yet you chould definitly go to the Doctors.
pains like that usually mean some sort of infection such as clamydia

[problemsarehere]

im 16 and for little over a year now my period has not been coming regularly. I'll have my period then for 3-5 months i wont have one. i have high blood pressure and i think maybe that has something to do with it but im not sure and im a virgin. im scared to tell my mom and i dont really want to go to the doctor unless i absolutly have to. Does anyone have any idea. PLEASE HELP!

[mejh24]

i am 17 years old and am 10 days late,i am sexually active but am always careful. i was ill 8 days ago from food poisoning and was wondering if this could be why i am late?or could it be pregnancy.

[wonderme]

Have you taken an HPT?  Are your cycles regular?  What type of birth control do you use?  What do you mean "am always careful"?

There are other reasons for missing a period (or being late) besides pregnancy -- stress, illness, etc.  However, anytime you're having sex, there is a chance of pregnancy.  

You should take an HPT...and really either way, you should get in to see your doctor.  If you are pregnant, then good prenatal care is important.  If you're not, the doctor can help determine why you are late -- this can possibly wait a bit longer to see if it comes on in the next couple of weeks...unless you have any other concerning symptoms (abdominal pain, painful urination, abnormal discharge (esp. w/ odor), etc.) then you should go right away.

Take the test...let us know...and then we can help you decide what your next step should be.

Lastly, are you able to talk to your mother or another trusted adult for help?  That is always a good place to start if at all possible.

Good luck.

No i havent taken a HPT.my cycles are normally regular, sometimes are very light and some times quite heavy.I always use condoms and check for any type of split/hole,i have been under some stress but no more than usual. I'll take the test and tell you the results.thanks for the help.

[kraziblonde]

I am sixteen, & usually get my period around the same time, but it's never EXACTLY on time, usually a little later. I am sexually active, and have been for about a year now- my boyfriend and I use protection... But this month my period is somewhere from 9-16 days late. I got so worried, I took a HPT but it came out negative. I've been eating more lately, but my weight has not fluctuated at all, and I am under a TON of stress with finals coming up. Could the stress be the cause of my late period? Or maybe even the fact that I keep worrying I may be pregnant?
If someone could give me some words of advice, that would be great. Thanks!
