this seems like an odd place to post it. But, appart from pregnancy, why else might your period not turn up for weeks? Im scared....

stress of exams
general stress caused by absense of said period
change in weather
change in emotions and temper and everything like that

sometimes people might skip them or whatever.....unless you think you're pregnant i wouldnt worry just yet

I used to regualar as clockwork. But for the last few months, ive been 2 weeks late eveytime. And now its 3 weeks. I dont think i could be pregnant, but its a vague possiblity. Im getting the cramps like before the period, but its not turned up at all.

*strokes your hair*
sshhhhh its okay. Im sure youre going to be fine...especially if you said that they've been late recently.
Just calm down and chill. Thats what Im doing....yes yes okay Im late too!

i hate this... i really do. I dont know what im going to do.

*goes all practical*

Firstly you're going to calm down and be given a big cuddle.
Next you're going to think seriosuly and rationally about the fact that you've been under a lot of stress lately.
Then you're going to say precisely how vague the chance that you're pregnant is.

awwwwww....s and s for both of you...

*practical respnse*

Shes calmed down a little...

Yes been under stress... and being late means more stress right?

Did have sex unprotected, but my boy didnt... you know, so can i still be?

worries.

How long should i wait before i panic?

its bizarre what you find when you type "late period" into yahoo....loads of music and architecture

I'd say give it five days to a week and if nothing go to your doctor...if this has been happening for a while though I would go as soon as I could because it could be something... Just my imput

Unwind with some

"wonder kid"????

There's tons of stuff that can affect this. Lots has already been mentioned.
I don't think you're an athlete (could be wrong), but even so, excessive (extreme) amounts of excercise can reduce your body fat until there is too little, which causes amenorrhea. (sorry if this starts getting technical-I'm going to be , remember? ) Generally eating a poor diet in the past while can also cause this, as can problems such as anorexia and bulemia. Also consider if you've lost a lot of weight recently or if a lot of your body fat has been lost and replaced with lean muscle. (This, if anything, would increase your weight, not decrease it, but is still a loss of body fat). I'd also like to point out that it's the end of the year and everyone is very stressy. Try to relax a bit.

Your right, im not even remotely sporty. And nor have i lost weight. If anything ive gained it. (not much. Im going to try see my doc on saturday mornign, but if their closed im going to drag one of my friends to the family planning clinic with me. I need to know. I cried myself to sleep last night and this morning too. Just feel so down...

Oh poppet!!! *rushes on to the next train to comfort you*

I really think this is stress hun...
