Where the fudge is my period!?

Morning ladies!

I'm 12 days late for my period! I did a pregnancy test when I was 5 days late and it was negative! Could it be wrong?

Otherwise, where the hell is it? Not even a twinge as a sign to show it's looming! I've been regular as clockwork since having DD!

Me too! I think mine is late because of stress.

Topas0117 · 08/05/2017 08:33

I'm really not stressed though, that's the thing! I'm quite relieved to not have one don't get me wrong! I just want to know whyyy!

Mine was 4 days late this time. Did 4 pregnancy tests in a panic and all negative. You can skip them occasionally I think. Have you been ttc?

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 08/05/2017 08:36

Have you changed your diet/exercise routine at all? Years ago I was 2 weeks late with no explanation.

Topas0117 · 08/05/2017 08:40

Gosh no, not TTC just yet! Maybe in a couple of years Grin I have starated cycling but have only managed to go twice Blush so far!

I'd do another test...

aibu1983 · 08/05/2017 09:59

i missed an entire period a couple of months ago whist on the pill! i even had pregnancy symptoms, wasted money on 5 tests and posted on here. i got my period the following month and have no idea what happened.

sorry this is no help but just wanted to let you know it can happen when you're not pregnant.

Topas0117 · 10/05/2017 16:05

Another negative test yesterday, 13 days late today! Angry

You csn have mine if you want. Had shocking cramps and am convinced I am slowly bleeding to death.

Dp and dcs will be glad to see the back of it too. Poor loves got shouted at for being untidy again last night. Sigh.

ihatethecold · 10/05/2017 16:14

How old are you?
I'm 43 and mine have gone missing.
I've done 2 pregnancy tests recently because I've got paranoid I'm pregnant.
Did a test this morning because I'm 15 days late.

madja · 10/05/2017 16:14

It can happen. I'm currently 30 days late (or missed a complete cycle) and I'm definitely not pregnant (hubby had vasectomy) Might be worth seeing your gp, as mine has referred me to gynaecology for hormone checks.

Ellieboolou27 · 10/05/2017 16:26

Me too! 7 days late and definitely not pregnant as haven't dtd Grin
I've got headaches and mood swings but nothing else!
I'm 39 and recently started a diet. It's so annoying, glad I'm not alone!

Topas0117 · 10/05/2017 16:30

I'm 25 and panicking, I fell pregnant with DD on the one occasion we weren't safe after coming off the pill having been on it since I was 16! So either I'm very fertile or DP has golden bullets!

We've been using condoms but DP doesn't put them on until he's about to come! Surely I can't be pregnant?

Err well yes, it's entirely possible you could be pregnant if he's not using the condoms properly. Putting them on at the last minute isn't correct. Does he actually pull out, apply a condom, then go back in to ejaculate? How unsatisfying! (and potentially risky re pregnancy).

If you've done a test and it's negative then you probably aren't pregnant, but you need better contraception (or to use it properly) if a pregnancy would be a disaster.

'We've been using condoms but DP doesn't put them on until he's about to come! Surely I can't be pregnant?'

Um you know sperm leaks out throughout sex, albeit in very small quantities.....

hi, did you get your period? im currently in a similar situation. im wondering if anyone can help? i had my last depo shot last may 10th 16. periods went back to normal oct/nov time. ive been very regular since. except this month! im currently 6 days late! 6 days ago i had white dischage (tmi) and nothing since but no sign of period? ive took numerous tests all say negtive, what im wondering is , when ive prevoiusly found out i was pregnant i used clear blue digital, nothing else, i havent used one this time only cheap ones, should i try a digital or just wait it out and see if my period comes? its driving me insain !!

RestlessTravellerTheSequel · 22/05/2017 10:52

And people wonder why we need better sex education in this country.

KittysMyName · 22/05/2017 18:09

I'm absolutely gobsmacked that you and your DP (grown adults!!!!) use condoms in that way and believe you won't get pregnant! Confused

ScottishJaggyNettle · 22/05/2017 19:10

It is perfectly normal to miss a period.

It has happend to me a few times my doctor told me to only be concerned if i skip more than one period... or if i get any One sided pain between your hip and ribs / back pain that is severe as this can indicate an ectopic pregnancy which does not always show up on a pregnancy test. This can also indicate ovarian cysts which can affect your period.

It is perfectly normal to have a longer cycle sometimes which includes skipping one period.

Stress, Diet changes , Hormones such as pegesterone or your thyroid, Feeling unwell and even your enviroment can change / affect your cycle.

If you are going to take a test : test first thing in the morning and dont drink to much fluids before hand. I have always found clear blue digital to work best and i have been advised that it is just as good as one given by your doctor (Not includeing a blood test).

I am in shock that you would think that you cannot get pregnant from what is effectivly a pull out method. Why even waste your money on condoms because effectively that is what you are doing.

Put a condom on before any action or find yourself a better contraceptive!

Periods can be funny after birth control . Sometimes your body takes a while to get back to normal.

If you are worried a quick phonecall to your GP wouldnt do any harm. Sometimes they just dont appear. It is frustrating i know that more than anyone and you worry all the time.

Oh FYI the only reason i know this is because i have been TTC for years and im used to my period being annoying.

user1495444352 White discharge often means that you are ovulateing Through your cycle discharge should be clear and towards the end of your fertile period it should get thicker and whiter so you could be at the end of ovulation... possibly you ovulated a bit late and at 6 days ago your body would have about another week untill your period. This can also mean that you have thrush...(this would be itchy/painfull) or if it has a fishy smell can indicate bacterial vagenosis. If you are worried boots have testing kits to identify thrush and BV. If the discharge continues longer then see a GP or your local family planning clinic for a range of STI checks . If it has only come and went i wouldnt worry so much you could just have a cycle that has delayed by a week or so.

I hope this is of help. Please remember your better safe than sorry so if you dont feel right or are very worried speak to a member of the health service.

Jesus Christ. All that money wasted on condoms.
