Hi,
I have a HUGE concern. My period is one month late! I'm 17 years old, but my period is usually on time every month. I have never experienced something similar. I only remember that I was once ten days late, but it "arrived" after that.
I was supposed to be on my period around February 4, but it's March 1 and still nothing. I have a few ideas about that.
1. On January 28, I fell and my hand inflamed. I started to take ibuprofen (approx. 2 pills a day, 400 mg each) since then. After that, I got a cold and started a so-called treatment on my own. I was taking Brufen and Nurofen in the morning and afternoon, then Brufen + Codamin at night. I followed the "treatment" for more than a week, maybe two weeks. Then I stopped. I also took some Mucosin syrup (once or twice), Vibrocil (I took it twice per day, once in the morning and once before going to bed) and Bioparox for my sore throat.
2. My boyfriend had something that looked like candida after he took all possible medications for treating his cold. He started to develop itching, redness, a sort of white discharge and some things that looked like notches on his penis. He didn't take any medication, but he kept cleaning the area with peroxide and everything seemed better. He hasn't anything now. We hadn't had intercourse during this time - maybe once, before he started to develop those symptoms. He also took Zinnat for a few days (three, I remember), and he is also taking some... steroids... He told me that he had something similar in his mouth (a sort of candida) before getting cold.
I didn't have any symptoms of candida or fungal infection, and since my boyfriend is fine now, I don't think that was what he suffered from.
3. I was VERY stressed from January 28 to ~February 3, but that happened to me before and my period still came.
There is NO risk of being pregnant. I had sex ONLY with my boyfriend and he never... you know, inside. I read that the colorless liquid that forms at the tip of the penis during/before (not sure) the intercourse contains spermatozoons, but I'm not sure either.
I had many cramps, like my period was about to come. However, nothing showed up. Furthermore, I didn't have any candida symptom: no itching, redness, discharge...
I didn't lose any weight I think, I ate well, everything was kind of normal. I lost about two nights of sleeping when my boyfriend was sick, he couldn't sleep...
Aside from ibuprofen and paracetamol (Codamin), I didn't take anything else. Ah, by the way, I think I'm kind of constipated, but I'm not sure either. I mean, after my boyfriend started to develop those candida symptoms, I started to be constipated, as I have a bowel movement every 2-3 days (maybe more).
Also, I had some acne, which happens to me before the period. And no symptom *down there*. And I have never taken the *pills*, if you know that I'm talking about.
What do you think it might be? I know I'm not pregnant, or at least, I'm 99.9% sure. My period is supposed to come on 4-5 March, but what if it doesn't show up? I have no symptoms, and I usually have cramps before it arrives. This didn't happened to me before. NEVER.
Please help me as soon as possible. I'm really desperate. I am thinking about a hormonal disorder, or maybe an ovarian cold... or ovarian cyst, why not. But I don't have ANY symptoms. And the risk of STD is 0.1%, because I always fear the infections, bacteria, viruses from public toilets.
Ah, I forgot to mention that I had intercourse with my boyfriend every day from January 30 until the first night when he couldn't sleep (we live together). My period happens to be late if I have intercourse before, but no more than 2-3 days. I thought that might be the cause, but one month... It's too much!
Help me, please. Any hormonal treatment will be welcome, I don't really want to consult a doctor... I wouldn't even know what to say. I'm really confused.
Nota Bene: I remarked a vaginal white discharge (which might be probably colorless, but it seems white) on the toilet paper. It doesn't seem to have the cheesy texture of Candida discharge, it doesn't have smell. Actually, it looks like the discharge that comes with my orgasm. And looks very much alike. But it isn't always there. And I don't think that I have ever had Candida, even though my boyfriend did. I'm REALLY CONFUSED!
PLEASE ANSWER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!
