Is my period late because I'm vegan?!


Question: Is my period late because I'm vegan!?
I recently became vegan-- I quit meat and dairy cold-turkey one week before my last period, and it came as usual!.

Now, a fully vegan month later, my period is 3 days late!. I've never been late before now!. I'm also a virgin, but I did mess around with a guy a few weeks ago-- as far as I know, no fluids even touched my skin, much less my vagina!.

I'm 20 years old, and have regularly had my period every 29 days since I was 12!. My period was due this previous Thursday, the 8th!. I am 5'8" and weigh 175lbs!.

For the past two days at lunch time I drank 2 cups of parsley-ginger tea, which is supposed to bring about a late period, but I've yet to bleed!.

Does it make sense that my period is late because I am vegan, or should I be worried!? Has anyone else experienced this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
A friend of mine became a vegetarian and missed her period the next month from the drastic change in her diet, so I'd definitely say that it's a possibility!. I doubt it's anything else, and I'm sure once your body gets used to your new vegan diet, things will get back to normal!.
Congratulations on going vegan, by the way!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Our bodies do seem to go through changes every five years or so ( heard that from my OBGYN) so maybe you are at an age where your body is going to make some changes and your period is one!. Don't wait too long before talking to your doctor, that's what they get paid for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yea, I became a vegetarian overnight and that messed me up big time because I didn't get any proper nutrients, so its very possible!.
