How often is an otherwise clockwork period delayed by stress or travel?!

[Youngatheart00]

As the message above says

Currently on cycle day 37….a fair amount of emotional stress recently and a bit of travel, but nothing to throw off time zones

I’m 37….too early for peri menopause?

If I’m pregnant that would be a huge shock….struggled with infertility for so long I’ve not even got any tests in the house!!

Every couple of days I get that cramping feeling like something is about to begin and then…..nothing

Well - test was negative, but still I wait!

It’s an absolutely awful feeling when you just feel uncomfortable, crampy, heavy and on edge but nothing for days on end!!!

Maybe do another test in a few days?

My friend spent 17 years trying to conceive. She finally gave up, and to her surprise found out she was pregnant - 16 weeks before she even realised!!!! She thought it was early menopause.

I've just had this I'm 36 and missed a period which never happens it's finally turned up 50days later after two negative pregnancy tests. I have been very stressed and I had covid

I’m 57 and still having periods.
I have never issued one due to travel or stress.
The only time I’ve not had periods was when I was pregnant and breast feeding.

I'd second the person who suggested anovulatory cycles. I had one a few years ago and it was another 30 days before the next one showed up. I haven't had one since so I think it was a blip.

The time between ovulation and period tends not to change, stress can disrupt ovulation and therefore the period is delayed. So looking back a few weeks it could have been a stressful time around ovulation that caused it. If you're crampy now that could be ovulation and you'll get your period 10-14 days time. With peri your periods often get closer together first, I think that's the more typical symptom, rather than stretching them out.

I've missed quite a few through over exercising, under eating (or other forms of eating disorder), stress, and travel. If you are on cycle day 37 then a test would be clearly positive.
