Health question

I was due to get AF on Christmas day.  I still have not gotten it.  I used to chart and I know that like clockwork I am. 28 to 30 day cycle girl.  I can't recall ever being this late except for when I was pregnant.  I have taken 2 pregnancy tests (even though I am 98 percent positive there is no way that I am) and both were negative.  Last one was taken this afternoon and it was a digital test.

 

I know some people skip cycles or are a couples weeks late and it's not really a big deal.  I've never had this happen before so I'm just wondering how long would you let it go before you call the dr?  I cam't see any explanation for it being so late.  No more stress than usual, no new medicines.  I'm at a loss.

Re: Health question

  • Generally the advice on the TTC boards is to keep testing weekly until you get your period or you are really late (I believe a full month).  Personally I'd probably call after 2 weeks but I'm really impatient and a worrier.  It is possible that you ovulated late last month, there are a lot of reasons that can happen other than stress (like working out/ not working out if you usually do, weight changes, etc). and sometimes I think it can just be late because... no real reason.  I'd probably wait until next Wednesday before you called your doctor but that's probably still earlier than most. I hope you get an answer soon!

    No they weren't but when I was pregnant I got a positive in the middle of the day.  I mean I'm not even really factoring pregnancy into this because I would seriously be shocked if I was.  I'm more worried this a sign something could be off with my health since it's never happened before.

  • It could be something as simple as any stress, extra activities, different foods, from the holidays and the time leading up to it.

    I personally wouldn't worry until it was close to a month late, assuming there are no other symptoms.  But if you are worried, it can't hurt to call and see what they say at the office. 

  • Eh, you know your body. If you're like clockwork and things are not seeming normal, call your doc. You seem a little worried about it - it can't hurt to give them a call and see what they say.

  • It's funny because I have been pushing off getting my spinal injections until I knew for sure I wasn't pregnant.  Even though I was pretty sure I wasn't I know there's always a chance so I called my dr today and asked for a script for blood work and got AF like less than an hour later.  Go figure.
