Delayed period - not TTC

[SaraD91]

Hi all! I have irregular periods but have been pretty consistent in the last year, besides my pill suddenly bringing forward my period.

It used to be about the 25th of the month onwards but now it’s been mid-month for a few months, and this has been consistent. Now, I use Flo to track my periods, and I log protected sex using the hearts. According to the app, I was meant to start my period on the 14th and now it’s gone into the grey late symbols.

I’ve been having on and off cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back like something’s brewing for a week now and still no sign of my period. I’m also very tired but I suppose I can be like that anyway sometimes. I don’t think I’m particularly stressed recently, just wondering if anyone’s got any advice? I’ve attached a screenshot of Flo (currently showing late four days). Thank you!

Assuming you have taken a pregnancy test that came out negative?

If so, can assume period will come eventually. I'd be more curious as to why they're irregular. Like have you been diagnosed with PCOS or anything.

hi @Outliers I haven’t taken a pregnancy test yet, I’m a bit scared to do one. Do you think that could be a possibility even with these sporadic period like cramps? My cycle lengths can differ but like I say I feel like they’re a lot better these days. Thank you for commenting 🧡

If you're having unprotected sex it's certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

Perhaps give it a few more days, if period doesn't show up, then try a test I'd say.
