I feel like the worlds shittest mother for not noticing. Since she started she’s always just got on with it, bought her own stuff etc. She puts her own clothes in the wash. I had no reason to believe she was having any issues.
Then today she tells me she’s actually not had a period in 7 months and she wasn’t bothered at first as she read it was normal but is now starting to get worried. She is def not pregnant (says she has never had sex and I believe her) but she is just starting a new relationship so obviously stuff like that will come in the near future and she wants to know what is going on with her body. I’ve made it absolutely clear to her that this does not under any circumstances mean she can lax contraception, and that until we know what is causing this then while being sexually active she has to assume that she could get pregnant. She seems to understand.
She’s going to book a Drs appointment tomorrow, and while there discuss periods and also contraception. DD doesn’t know this but there is history of unexplained infertility with the females on her dads side. One of her aunties has 2 boys but the other tried for years and could never conceive. As did a lot of of her dad’s cousins.
Has anybody else experienced this?
