AIBU to wonder what is going on with my periods?

[Sarahplane]

Last period started 31 days ago. My average cycle is 26 days so I'm now 5 days late. I use an app to track them and they sometimes vary by a day or two (longest ever cycle has been 28 days and that was only once), shortest 25 but usually 26.

I did have some very light bleeding on day 13 which went on for about three days but not a period and have been on and off feeling generally wierd since. Had bad cramps 4 days ago but no period then 2 days ago felt teary and thought PMT but still nothing.

How old are you?

sorry should have said I'm 32.

I've never had any bleeding or spotting between periods before.

Pregnant?

I felt like I was but tested 4 or 5 days ago and it was negative. Not feeling sick and had very bad sickness both times. worth getting another test?

Test again!

PCOS? Worth being checked

Test again, but as we get older, our hormone balances change and our periods change as a result. I wouldn't worry too much, but it may be a good idea to have your thyroid levels checked.

I have a very under active (non functioning) thyroid already but this is well medicated with a very high dose.

I'll get a test this afternoon. sorry to drip feed and not sure if it's connected but I've also had this on going feeling like I'm about 7 months pregnant for ages.

Get your thyroid rechecked. And if it continues get gynaecological screening.

Tested again, still negative. Still no period. Thyroid was tested 8 weeks ago and levels were perfect. I'm on 300 mcg a day so already on a very high dose. I've booked a doctor's appointment but it's not until the 21st.

Don't panic! But do tell your GP symptoms even if they've resolved by then.
It's probably nothing much - but sounds worth checking out.

thanks. I will do
