Worried about a late period?!
Question: Worried about a late period!?
My period was due on the 16th it is now the 20th and it still hasn't come!. There is no chance I'm pregnant so please don't answer with 'take a pregnancy test'!. I'm wondering how much longer I should wait until I should do something about it!? Also, what are the possible reasons for it being late!? I'm currently studying year 12 and am quite stressed but is this a sufficient reason to be late or even miss a period!?

Answers:
1) 4 days later than expected by you is nothing to worry about!
2) What is called "late period": If you have a very regular cycle (i!.e!. 28-26-27-28-26) then "late" is 3 days longer than the longest cycle in the last 12 months!. If you have a medium regular cycle (i!.e!. 28-31-27-26-31) then "late" is not earlier than 5 days after the longest cycle in the last 12 months!.
3) There is nothing that you could do or should do about it!. Just wait till the period comes!. A doctor would do nothing, too!.
4) Yes, stress can trigger cycle irregularities!. Other causes could be general infections, sleep deprivation, malnutrition!. However, I guess that in your case it is just a normal variation!. Up to 1 week late just happens sometimes without known reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Delayed menstruation can be caused by the many reasons!. Some of those are more serious then other, such as malnutrition, eating disorders, abnormal body weight either obesity or low body weight!. Sometimes diabetes, thyroid deficiency, depression, lack of ovulation due to the pill or deprovera, could cause delayed menstruation!.The irregular periods and delayed menstruation since the beginning of your periods are most probably because of hormonal imbalance or polycystic ovarian disease!.You should get hormonal assays and then trans-vaginal ultra sound to see the ovaries!. With these reports, consult your gynecologist who will be able to diagnose you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Stress is a common reason for students to have late periods, if you say you can't be pregnant I believe you!. So stop worrying and they will come soon enough!.
However if you have had sex recently whether using a condom or on the pill there is always a slight chance of pregnancy as nothing is 100% safe!. Hope this helps and don't worryWww@Answer-Health@Com

There is absolutely no need for panic!. Stress is one of the factors for delayed periods!. Its just 4 days delay!. A cycle is considered normal if it occurs once in 6 weeks time frame!.
But if this trend continues in future say for more than 3 cycles, pls do visit a gyneac to rule out Poly cystic ovaries!. This is a fairly common reason for delayed periods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
