Late period and anaemia

13 replies

LAA2 · 29/10/2019 09:33

Hi. I am currently waiting for my period to start and so far I am on day 34 and 5 days late. I am anaemic. My stomach has bloated, getting some pains and keep thinking the period is going to start but then it doesn't.
Trying not to stress myself as I know that can delay the period even more.
Does anyone know if anaemia can cause the period to be delayed?

It's so annoying. It's the not knowing what is happening to our own bodies.

@LAA2 definitely go see what they can do for you. nope not said a word just referred me. he did lots of urine test and an examination and a few swabs but said nothing.

Saw dr on Thursday. He said very little. Having blood tests done on Wednesday. My period finally started yesterday. Very heavy and on day 37. Hopefully the blood tests will pick up a possible reason. Hope you're ok @jmgX
