Yes, 2 weeks late. I think it was stress/illness related but it was a long two weeks and I did not want to be pregnant!

I missed a whole period when I was 29 and trying for my 2nd baby. It was very upsetting but luckily I conceived about 3 months later

Do you think any supplements you were taking might have caused it? I started inositol recently and wondering if it's that.

Yes! Scares the life out of me! Just had a 10 week long cycle, when I am usually every 28 days. The relief when AF started 🤣

I bit the bullet and took a test and honestly couldn't believe it when it came back negative. Just sitting here thinking about how I don't have to try to get a GP appointment 🤣🥂🥂🥂
