Help! What is wrong with me?
I am a week late for my period. I don’t have perfectly regular cycles, but they usually tend to be around 33-35 days. Today is day 42. My last cycle started December 8. I’m almost 100% positive that I’m not pregnant. I’ve taken 16 hpts (I know, it’s a lot, I’m paranoid) including one this morning. I’ve gotten a doctor’s urine test and a blood test when I was four days late. Everything has come back negative. And if I was pregnant, I would have conceived on December 18 which should have been long before I ovulated. But I’m having all sorts of weird symptoms. Lightheadedness, slight breast tenderness (which I do get before my period, but it hasn’t come yet), light cramping, weight gain, nausea, etc. I also have a burning pain sometimes right inside my left hip bone. The doctor said that I might have an ovarian cyst or PCOS. That seems so strange though, because I don’t usually have major health issues. Why is my period so late? What is wrong with me?
I’m 22 years old and I started my period when I was 10. I haven’t been this late since I was in high school. That’s why I’m worried.
Relax… all is ok.
If you don’t start in a couple of days go back to Dr.
As you get older you won’t have periods just like clockwork like when you are a teen, and many never have exact periods from mo to mo. There are hormonal irregularities that can make you late, early, skip, flood etc. Just relax.
Of course you could be preg. but having a heart attack isn’t going to change that so relax. Take a nice long walk and breath.
All is fine. You will either, start, be preg., have cyst, or whatever, but all will be fine. And even better when you aren’t stressed to the max. like your hanging is tomorrow. It isn’t!
Sure easy for me to say….but please try. You will feel better if you just relax, and sometimes you start when you relax.
Very best.
Getting so worked up only aggravates the situation. Believe it or not, your mental state influences your menstrual cycle. I’ve noticed that every time I’ve freaked out because my period has been late, I’ve only made it worse by going crazy and getting pregnancy tests and obssessing over it. You need to relax and wait a few more days; if it doesn’t come, go to your gynecologist.
STRESS will only make it worse you probabley aren’t pregnant just having a late period you may skip it all together a cyst is very common and pretty easy to get rid of.
