Why am I missing my period?!
Question: Why am I missing my period!?
This isn't the first time my period has been late but it's really starting to freak me out!. I've never had a set date but it's usually towards the end of the month!. I am not sexually active so I'm not pregnant!. Also, sometimes I have a brown gritty discharge!. Is this really super bad or am I freaking out for no reason!? I've read of all the reasons why my period may be late but none of them make any sense! None of them fit! HELP!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I always have had trouble with this, when I was a virgin, and now, when I'm not!. Possible reasons you're so late is because of stress, being underweight or overweight, your hormones not being at a normal level, an iron deficiency, etc!. There are tons of reasons why you're late, and it's really normal not to have a predictable cycle!. I really don't know where they got the whole "28 days" from, because everyone is different!.
My problem is that I'm underweight [definitely not by choice] and I'm stressed out a lot during the school year!. I also think I might be anemic!. I've had my period for about 7 years now, so it's definitely not because I just started!. I went for around 5 months without a period, then I finally went to the doctor, and they gave me medicine to start it!. Ever since then, it's been normal!.!.!. well, at least normal for me!.
As for the brown gritty discharge, what time of the month are you getting it!? I don't exactly know what you mean by "gritty", but if it's around halfway between your periods, you're probably just spotting, which happens when you ovulate [release an egg] and it doesn't get fertilized!. The reason it's brown might be because the blood has stayed in your body for too long!. Sometimes it's so dark, it's almost black!. Don't worry about it too much!.
Best of wishes!
