Awol period after norovirus...

[Passthecake30]

Hi ladies, I usually have a 22-24 day cycle, though it does get a bit funky very now and then and surprise me with a 16 day one....anyway, last month I was very ill with norovirus, barely ate for a week, and lost 1/2 stone in that time. Now my period is no where to be seen, I have had symptoms...and nothing...it's been 32 days now ..and yes, I have tested just in case, which was negative (phew...but expected as I was too ill to actually do anything for ages :) ). Anyone else had this? Should I go docs or just wait impatiently....

I think severe stress or trauma can delay your cycle so being very sick would affect it. You may have ovulated much later. I'm sure it will turn up soon. I had a 35 day cycle once, sually was 28-30. Now it's gone to 22-25 days. Give it a bit longer but if still no show then see your GP.

Illness can make you delay or miss a period. Vomiting/diarrhoea might mean your oral contraception didn't work. Wait it out, and repeat preg test if nothing in a few days.
