If she is on medication for the bipolar disorder, the medication
can effect her period. Let's us know what is going on!
It is normal to have variations in a women's menstrual cycle, especially if she is either in her teenage years or approaching menopause. However cycles that are less than 21 days are not considered normal, 21 to 35 is the norm. If she continues to have 20 day cycles than a doctor should take a look, my guess is her cycles are still changing and should soon settle into a regular pattern.
We are both young, too young to know what's going on, that's why i'm here. Our relationship has been great nothing for her to try to cause drama or get my attention. What i know is she is now 6 days late and gets cramps like she is getting ready to start but she doesn't start.
I also know that it was 25 days between her periods then it changed to 20 day. After a few months with the 20 days could it be changing back to 25? How often is this supposed to happen if at all and if not what is needed to be done about it?
if she hasnt done anything to get herself pregnant then exactly what is the question? What is she worried about? give us ore info.
(Let's pretend you're speaking about your own gf...it's just easier to answer that way) If you and your gf haven't had sex, then she can't be pregnant. If she is, then it's not yours. Cycle length varies, especially when a woman is younger. I wouldn't be concerned if her cycles are 5 days shorter than they used to be. Maybe she's not starting her period because she didn't ovulate this cycle, or it could be stress related.
You mention that she's bipolar (and I'm assuming she's young). Is she taking medication? How has your relationship been lately? I'm just wondering if she's trying to get your attention or create some drama, possibly?
why in the world would she be taking a pregnancy test if she is NOT having sex????? Are you sure she is not sexually active?
Well, any number of things could cause that. Maybe she ovulated late this cycle, or didn't ovulate at all. Stress and diet can affect a woman's cycle. There's just too many possibilities for anyone to give you a definitive answer. If she's concerned about it, she should make an appointment to see her doctor. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
Can I ask how old u both are as this may help with the advice?
under 19? well, that's 1-18?? just say it so we can get this show on the road. 1st you posted asking about a "friend" then you say you are "under 19". cut to the chase, be honest so we can help.
if you two did not have intercourse/ejaculate inside of her, then she is not pregnant. she is late for some other reason.
UNLESS....she is having intercourse with someone else, then of course that's a different story. are you sure she is being honest? i am only asking because, i was late for my period for 4-6 days. i felt as if my period was coming any day. i had cramps and all the other stuff that goes along with having a period. i was pregnant. i am 37 though. if you are 100% no sex involved, then you can rest easy. stop worrying and hopefully her period will come. the most she obsessess/worries/stresses it may be delayed. perhaps she calculated her dates incorrectly? periods sometimes have a mind of their own and are early, late and vary with flow and duration. if she does not get it soon then she should go see a gynocologist to see why she is not getting a period. sometimes if there are cysts, that can effect a period.
I may be way off here, but I suspect that you've engaged in some kind of sexual activity with her...not sex, but maybe oral sex or mutual masturbation, or just heavy petting. Again, let me/us reassure you that, if that's the case, you don't need to worry about pregnancy.
That doesn't mean that she shouldn't see a doctor. Like oceans said, it could be a cyst or something else that's delaying her period.
she's 16 we're doing the pregnancy test today so we can make sure that's not it and we will go from there
