Missed period, NOT pregnant, ALL pms symptoms!!

I usually get my period every 1st of the month, unfortunately, i didn't recieve it this month.  I am no 12 days late and have no sign of bleeding.  I took a pregancy test thru kaiser and it came out negative.  I'm not bleeding but I have all my PMS symptoms.  My breast are swollen, im breaking out all over, and am completely bloated.  I was wondering if someone can tell me what's going on with me.  I know that a missed period is normal.  But im kinda worried because i get my period regularly and having pms symptoms is a bit confusing.

if the test was negative your period is on the way maybe was delayed by your anxiety. If we want something baddly sometimes our minds plays tricks on us. This is from personal experience been there and done that

Good Luck and lots of baby dust to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's no need to state the obvious. Girls can have missed periods for many reasons beyond stress and pregnancy. Horomones are complicated and it's hard to pin-point exactly what's causing it. I use homemade pregnancy test b/c they are just as effective and so much cheaper. Vinegar, sugar, and toothpaste are my go to, there are many others that react with your urine. Look for colour change, clumps, or foaming respectively. The most accurate method is to visit a clinic and get a blood test done. Otherwise, changes or inconsistency in lifestyles tends to have an effect from my experience. I generally try to not think too heavily on it and when your mind and body finally relaxes long enough, it'll come back. As long as you rule out pregnancy as the cause, try to ignore the oddities and just give your body time to figure itself out.

I'm 14 and I've never had sex and I've had my period once about two months ago but never got it again. I have PMS symptoms each month but never any actual bleeding. I don't think that it's because of stress because I'm not under to much stress. Ughhhhh what is happening?

If your only having 1 meal a day your body would be going into starvation mode and storing fat from everything you eat i went through putting on weight all the time and not knowing why when i mostly never ate and if i did it was 1 meal a day i went to a nutritionist who told me to cut out s much sugar as possible ,eat 5 healthy small  meals a day so 3 small main meals and 2 healthy snacks and drink plenty of water i did this and lost heaps of weight my period went out of wack when i gained weight to :)
I hope this helps

This happened to me in December. I have never missed my period before and in December I missed it completely. I had all the PMS symptoms but no bleeding.
Your missed period could be due to a number of things: hormonal changes, stress, medications, pregnancy, thyroid issues, change of routine, weight gain or weight loss, a diet high in fat and I read that sometimes periods just skip a month for no reason that can be diagnosed.

For me it was a drastic change in diet. I went on a detox program where I cut out sugar, gluten, carbs, dairy, red meats and wheat. Then after the three weeks I went on a cruise and started eating all of those things plus foods that were rich and not so healthy (you know how much food there is on a cruise) so I missed my period that month. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. The test I took said that it was over 99% accurate.

After vacation I started my regular healthy diet again and my workout program. Going on the vacation changed my routine and eating habits.

What helped me was working out. Even when I have regular periods I noticed that high intensity Cardio always helps my period come early. My advice is first take a pregnancy test and make sure it's a reliable one, its worth the extra money! Second if you aren't pregnant or have any health issues be it physical or psychological and you are usually pretty regular try being very active get on the treadmill or elliptical and workout, see if the activity helps bring on your period because it always does for me and I have even got my period at the gym.

It's worth a try. If its only one month and you aren't pregnant then wait, if you don't get it the following month go see a doctor.

Good luck everyone!

Hey Dee,
Sorry to hear you had a rough time with the Doctor. If you want to have a urine analysis done, go to Planned Parenthood- they won't turn you away and they are free.

Best of luck.

My period last month came 5 days early, and ended on the16th...and now my period is late...or I don't know if it's late...I did have sex with a guy friend on the 29th, then again just last Friday...would it be the sex that's making it late? Im bloating like crazy! And I was just in 2 sports tournaments...one was 2 weeks ago, and one was just this past Saturday...would it also be the sports activities that's causing it to be late? I really hope I'm not I'm pregnant. But I'm afraid , because on Sunday, I was bleeding, and I don't know if it's spotting or not, or it's a sign of my period coming. Whenever I go to the bathroom, when I wipe, there is blood, but it's not only a few drops (like spotting blood. So I'm really nervous and scared right now. Please tell me what to do!!!

Same thing, my period is 3days late now... I had unprotected sex on the 26th day of my 29day cycle. He didn't *** inside me, though but I took the "morning after pill" just to be safe. Could it be the drug that's delaying my period?

Hi...I am going through some anxious moment...I did protected sex with my bf on 23, 24,25 March. During those days i was due for my periods but to postpone it,  i took progestone (Deviry) as my bf had came all along from other country to spend some time with me. and i didnt want to be down in those days. I had earlier also taken this medicine and when i stopped that medicine my period came back to normal within 3-4 days. but this time its already some good 12 days late and i am having now some nervous moment. I dont want to get pregnant now. But since then i have some strange feeling of conceiving. My nipples have become larger, my breasts have become very tender and it hurts when anything accidently gets touched. and i am not getting my periods now. i have some back ache and shoulder pain also at times. Is it a sign of pregnancy....Can anyone guide me on it...as me and my bf both are very tensed now...

Im having the same situation. I didnt get a period sinced december2011. I was so stressed out on january tho..i was spotting on the 6th of february for a couple days. But still no period til today. I'm regular with my menses. Month to month, I get it. Could I be pregnant? Those urine test has been negative. But I heard its still possible to be pregnant. I have all the symptoms of being pregnant, especially constipation. some noticed ive gained a bit of weight. Ugh its so frustrating!!! I went to a ob/gyn clinic & asked for an ultra sound but they didn't do it...they weren't very helpful. They only went by my urine which I was already having problems with...! But I need an ultra sound.... ! Help

I have been having the same symptoms period pains, sore breasts, feeling sick. I am 15 days late and still no period.  I did two tests and they were negative.  I went to see my gynaecologist (had a scan) yesterday and he is most certain I had a very early pregnancy which does makes sense as we have been trying.  However, this was our first month.  Not saying this is the reason why you’re getting these symptoms as everyone is different just telling you what I have experienced and been told.  My gyno seems to think I will come on in the next 7 days if not I am to do another test.  This is very common apparently and some people don’t even know they have fallen pregnant and carry on as normal.  I can’t even touch my breast they are so tender.  My next period should be extremely heavy due to the early pregnancy.     Hope this helps.
