Hi ladies , I was due my period 18th September and we have just began October . I have had lower back and hip pain for over a year now . No scans as I was told by a chiropractor that it’s muscular given the fact it hurts with movement and sitting for too long . I have never missed a period without being pregnant and I’m def bot pregnant . I find this very concerning . Is it possibly to be over 12 days late ? Google tells me anything past 35 days cycle should be investigated . My anxiety takes over and I think the worst like ovarian cancer . I am 32
Thankyou if someone can help or tell me experiences
Well have you seen your doctor? What do they think? Sounds like you probably just skipped a period due to some stress you've been having. That's very common for women.
I'm on birth control and recently this year I didn't get my period one cycle. I think I had maybe 1 or 2 spots and that was it, it was like I didn't even get it at all. I got nervous bc I know normally stress can caused missed periods, and I had been very anxious, but I thought when ur on birth control that you always definitely get ur period. I saw my gyno and she said that nope, stress can cause missed periods whether ur on birth control or not.
Thankyou for your reply , I didn’t think I was stressed . Certainly no stressed than I have been at other times I’m my life . I haven’t seen a doctor yet . I work full time and my doctor is closed Saturdays .
I might need to see someone if not here soon though . I’m getting concerned but I appreciate the reply
Have you changed your diet? Or dropped weight ? Because when I had my weight loss surgery and was losing a lot of weight and was eating right I didn’t get it for months 4 to be exact
Yes, as AlbinowithAnxie said, it could something like weight loss or even exercising too. If you have been exercising recently, changed weight, changed sleep patterns, been stressed - any of those things can cause missed periods. I used to skip periods allll the time as a teenager before I went on birth control. And as I've said I even skipped now while on birth control!
I believe from what I've read online 1 skipped period is not cause for concern. It's only if you skip often then perhaps it's worth looking into. However it can't hurt to check with your Dr to be sure if it's bothering u =) But I'm sure you're fine.
Exactly like right now I’ve been on a new diet and I’ve noticed my period has been very light
Due to the fact you say you've had lower back and hip pain I would go to a sexual health clinic. In regards to missing a period 12 days isn't a lot many factors can affect it.
I haven’t lost any weight . A week before I was due I started a keto diet which I’ve read can play with hormones but I really don’t think it would happen that fast .
Sorry did you mean you feel the back and hip could be related ? I have been to a chiropractor and myotherapist and doctor about my back , no scans have been had and all day muscular . I’ve neber had reason until now to think anything more serious ;/
