Hello, I've just joined this forum so I apologise if I ask something that has been covered to death. My husband and I have only been trying for a couple months. I went off my contraceptive end of June/beginning of July. My periods are very regular. I haven't missed a period since I was 19 (now 31) when I was severely anorexic (completely recovered now). My period is coming up to a week late, which is not like me. I took a pregnancy test two days ago and it was negative. I spoke to my GP today who basically said that I shouldn't worry about my period or bother to count the days of my cycle, and that I could miss my period for several months and not need to worry. Basically that I shouldn't care when I get my period or when I might be ovulating. This doesn't seem right to me? I know there is a possibility that I could actually be pregnant still, or not that's fine too. There is always that worry that I damaged my body so severely as a teenager that I may not be able to have children (I don't expect anyone to be able to give advice about that, it's just an ever present worry). I am concerned though about my GP's advice and general attitude about this. Do I need to find a new doctor or do I just need to stop caring about my monthly cycle?
