Hi all,
Basically my period is late (for me) and I’m not totally sure why - I have never missed one before in my life. My last one was on 22nd Nov and usually I do not even get up to the 28 days before my period arrives - I usually get it around day 21-23. It’s never exact but I have never been over the 28 days. It’s now day 30 and nothing. I got what felt exactly like period cramps last Thursday but no blood ever came.
I’m 25 so have been having periods about 12 years. Never missed one before. I’m definitely not pregnant. I am quite underweight at the moment due to IBS issues - currently just under 7 stone. I have been around this weight in the past though when I had similar issues and still got a period when I was eating even less than I am now... not saying it’s not related to that though, it may well be.
I’m just a bit concerned. Any thoughts would be great, thank you.
Hi Emma, try not to get yourself worried about this. Periods can and do often change over the course of a woman's lifetime. Plus things such as stress or changes in weight (like you mentioned) can mess up your cycle at times too. Iron levels might be a factor...especially if your IBS is affecting absorption. Even just being busier that usual can do it. Perhaps you've been rushing about more recently? If you've been having your normal period symptoms then hopefully the red stuff will start flowing soon! I know going over even by a day or two, when you are normally so regular, can feel like a long time, but it's really not! We all have 'blips' now and again. I'm 42 and over the years my periods have been all over place at times. It's hard to tell right now if this is a one off or maybe just your cycle changing. You would need to keep a track of it for the next few months to get a better picture. Of course, if there is anything really worrying you then the GP is the best person to advise you.
Wow im 20 so means i had my period for 10 years. Never thought to see how many years but thats a long time. Anyways are you on bc? Sometimes it just happens i remember going 6 mo ths without a period and then 3 months. It was always like that for me until i got pregnant of course now i need bc to stop my periods if not they keep on going 
. But i wouldnt be too concerned unless it last for more than 3 months
