Missed period, not pregnant?

[Orangeflames]

My period has always been regular, 28-30 day cycle, I’ve never missed one in 27 years, pregnancy excluded, which was 14 years ago.

Last month my period didn’t arrive, despite the usual PMT symptoms. The second month would have been due 2 days ago and again nothing. I have intermittent period type pains but nothing is starting. I’m definitely not pregnant, haven’t had sex, I’m 38 so a bit too young for menopause. How long do I leave it before speaking to my GP?

Has anything been different the last month? This has happened to me before after having Covid and another time after being quite stressed during a busy time at work. Things went back to normal afterwards.

Not really, I’ve been very busy with work and I suppose quite stressed, but in the grand scheme of things I’ve been far more stressed before and it hasn’t affected my period. Not had Covid since 2021 or been unwell

@Orangeflames has your period came yet ? I’m same age as you and normally a 26 day cycle now on 38 days and no period . Took a couple of cheap pregnancy tests both negative plus in 19 years of being with my partner we have never had any joy with conceiving so I highly doubt I’m pregnant however I just don’t know what it can be .

Can I jump on this bread, I'm having this same problem, 38 years old, periods have always been regular never missed one apart from when pregnant. I've down 3 pregnancy tests but all negative which I didn't tho knit would be that. I've had that real low dull back pain ache that I usually get and have felt at times it's coming but nothing has arrived! I'm really confused currently stressed but then always am and have been for probably the whole of this year, been on steroids now for the past 2 months but I've weaned down to 9mg and been on 10mg the last 5 weeks that's the only factors I can think of that could of caused a missed period but I've been w before and I've been on steroids before a few times and I've be ever missed a period.

Just wondered if the original posters had some insight to what happens with them or anyone else experienced this? If it's not pregnancy why would it be missed?
