    Default late period/ no sex

    By choice, I haven't had ANY sex in 4 months. Here's the weird part, my period is like 10 days late and that's a lot for me . I have taken 3 pregnancy tests (all negative) and I just had my annual exam and STD tests a week ago.All systems go. Everything normal . No diseases or disorders. You would think she would tell me if she noticed I was preganant.... And I'm gaining weight even though I'm dieting,exercising and counting calories. And I think about eating constantly.....could this be just a long bout of PMS? Has this ever happened to you?

    Weight loss/gain can effect progesterone/estrogen levels therefore throwing off your cycle. I would give it atleast another week before getting concerned. If it never comes around go see your doc. I had amenorrea for two years due to a low bodyfat percentage.

    Something as simple as stress can (apparently) cause you to stop ovulating, and make your period very random (before I went on the pill my period was COMPLETELY random.) I wouldn't worry too much, but I'd go back to the doctor and ask. But I'm Canadian, and don't have to pay my doctor (except indirectly). You might want to give it another week or so.

    Have you had some stress lately? My best friend just had the same thing happen to her. In July, she started a really horriffic break-up that was very hard on her emotionally. Perhaps there's something going (conciously or subconciously) that is causing you to be late.

    I was once almost 3 weeks late. then I got my period. I never knew why it took so long, i'm usually late like 3 or 4 days, but this was like 3 weeks! I took multiple pregnancy tests and all came back negative. Have you tried calling your gyn about it?

    at least you're not pregnant!!! i am on the pill and when I get really stressed out..I always spot in between my period...I can only imagine if I didn't have the pill to regulate...my period would be really inconsistent!!!!

    as far as the whole dieting exercising thing your body could just be changing(metabolism slowing etc.) whens the last time you had your thyroid tested???? i know that my friend had an underactive thyroid or something that was causing her to gain weight. It usually happens mid 20s. let me know how everything turns out!!!!

    Sometimes, for no reason, a women skips ovulation for a month. Its normal, but scary. If you dont ovulate, you will not have a period. Another reason could be stress. You also said that you have been exercizing and dieting, and if you overdo it, that can cause your period to stop. If it does not come next month, make an appt with your gyn to get checked out.

    You know, getting stressed over not getting is probably not helping you to get it. YOURE NOT PREGNANT

    That happened to me last month. I think it was this soup diet I went on. There are soooooo many things that can cause you to skip a period. Absolutely no reason to worry.

    I did talk to my doctor and she said that it could be anything really and not to worry about it. She also said that my PMS symptoms ,which I have had for like 3 weeks will probably last until my period decides it wants to show up. YAY! I love PMS!! I'm so glad that I have felt moody irrational and puffy for weeks...I hope it lasts. ..... GRRRRRRRRRRR

    You're working out? Working out and dieting causes period loss, too.

    When I changed my diet (not restricting, just changing from mostly veggie to more meat) I got my period messed up for one cycle and freaked out because it had always been like clockwork before. However, once my body adjusted I was back to getting regular cycles and it is again like clockwork.

    But I always work out...I just stepped it up a bit and hired a trainer but nothing too crazy. And I have just been eating better. I'm sure I'm fine but I just want to get my period and feel normal again. Is there anything I can do to bring on my period?

    ^My point was that any diet change, even a healthier one can shift up your cycles a bit because it's a change from what you do normally and something your body's not used to. That's what happened to me, but now I'm regular again. Just took a little time.

    Well I finally had sex on Monday ( yay for me!) and still nothing ! This is bullshit! My doctor if I still hadn't had it that she could give me a period if I came into the office, but I'm not sure whar that would entail. I suppose I should just keep having sex!

    Oh I just read you've been "eating better" and "stepping it up" training wise.

    That means you're doing too much.

    Losing your period is the key sign for anorexia. Basically when your body stops getting the fat it needs it stops your periods. You're quite possibly not eating enough.

    I eat all day! That's definitely not the problem. And I just started working out with my trainer 3 days a week and then I do like 45 minutes of cardio on my off days with him so I'm not going all crazy and if anything I feel like I'm gaining weight even though I am trying to loose it. I have just been eating more salads and lean protiens and have tried to stay away from fried foods and starches.I do get plenty of healthy fats from nuts and soy and even in my protein bars . There really haven't been any radical lifestyle changes and I just had my annual and got EVERYTHING tested and I'm basically really healthy so I am just puzzled ...AND PUFFY. I am seriously confused. I just don't get it.

    Yes I'm still bitching about this...I went to the doctor today and I almost fainted when I saw my weight on the scale ! 127 and I have never weighed that much in my life...So my doctor gave me Progestrin so that I can finally get a period and she also gave me crazy prescription diuretics for the 10- 12 lbs of water weight I'm carrying around. They are making me pee like crazy and BRING IT ON. I just want to feel normal again. The weight gain is the most disturbing part because theoretically, I should be losing weight. I'm like, WTF ! I just don't get it but apparently hormones are no joke! I just hope that this Progestrin doesn't make the bloating any worse! Has anyone ever taken it?
