Women only - late period?!


Question: Women only - late period!?
hello everyone

i'm about 2/3 days late for my period and practically have no cramps and am really worried!.
i haven't had any unsafe sex but am still fretting!. this past fortnight a lot has gone on!. i have been ill with what seemed like the flu!. [lost my voice, had diarrhea, had a fever, runny nose] and also within the past week and a half i started a job which made me very miserable and ended up quitting!. i also took lots of paracetamol within the last week and had to alter my eating habits due to weird shifts at work and trying to prevent the diarrhea!. i have also lost about a stone in the past 3 months [i needed to, i had about a stone in extra weight] but my periods have been regular til now!. i have also had a panic attack during this time and am experiencing some symptoms of PMS like mild depression, disinterest, increased appetite and water retention!.

does any of this explain my late period!?

i'm doing everything to bring on my period, hot bath everyday, sit-ups, parsley tea, eating well!. but i just have a really bad feeling!. i've been reading that condoms alone are rubbish reliability!.

any advice!?

thanks - be nice, i've had a miserable time recently :(Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi there!. It sounds like you have had a bit of a run of bad luck! Poor you!.

The good news is that stress and ill health can both disrupt your cycle and from what you have described, you seem to be dealing with both recently!. Also, condoms, when used correctly are effective 99% of the time, which is similar to the efficacy of the pill or other contraceptive methods!.

The most simple suggestion if you want to resolve your worries about pregnancy would be to do a home test!. From what you have described I'm sure it is the combination of illness and stress that has disrupted things for you (it's happened to me and many of my friends at one time or another)!. The thing is though, you might want to relieve your mind on this one issue, so doing a test will be a quick way to do that and stop you from stressing yourself out any further!.

Just my two cents!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only thing you have to do is relax!. The only reason you have not had a period is because of the stress you have been under!. So just relax and it will come!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Relax!. There are many reasons that your period may be late - stress, diet, illness - any external thing can cause your menstrual cycle to shift!.

Just relax!. It'll be along soon enough!.

Take care and I wish you well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like your really dow in the dumps!
i think you just need ot relax! the most comon cause of missing a period if YOUR NOT PREGNANT, is stress!
If your period doesn't come when you have chilled out abit just give your doc a call get an appointment and put your mind at ease that way! if you really are worried about being pregnant do a home pregnancy test
condoms arnt the most relighabe!. why dont you look into having the depo provera injection!? you have not got to worrie about periods then because most women who are using this form of contraception dont have them! just remember to still use a condom if you are sleeping with a 'NEW' partner!
good luck!***Www@Answer-Health@Com
