Hi, i am a 18 year old female. My first period started 4 years ago and i have never had a late period before. it has always been on time. this is the first time it has ever been this late, by 4 days. i do have a boyfriend, but we have never had sex before. we have tried other things, but not sex. so i dont think i am pregnant. there were 2 incidents where i had to take plan b, because we thought the pre-*** had somehow touched my vaginal area. doctor said the plan b may cause a delay in the period by a day or so. other than that ive never had a period that has been late. i am worried that i might be pregnant somehow. im so worried i had a breakdown on the phone with my boyfriend... please help me. i need some answers.
Hi,
You need to rule out a pregnancy if there is the slightest doubt. There are many other reasons for delayed periods like - anaemia, unexplained or sudden weight gain or weight loss, hypothyroidism, and polycystic disease of the ovary and stress. But you will need to get investigated. A scan may be done. Consult your Doctor.
Take care & good luck.
