Period 5 days late…..very unusual for me…cause?

[Blankspace4]

Hi - posting for advice and / or reassurance

My period is currently 5 days late. I had that usual ‘due on’ crampy, bloated, irritable feeling as usual about 7 days ago. But then nothing materialised! And that due on feeling has gone. I am usually like absolute clockwork, 28 days, maybe with some brown spotting 1 or 2 days before. There’s been nothing at all.

We moved house during the month and that has been stressful, but I wouldn’t say exceptionally so. I’ve also been taking tramadol (not every day and way under the max dosage) for a back injury that’s been reactivated by the move (too much lifting….)

Could either of these things be causing it?

Zero chance I am pregnant as we haven’t had sex in a while (that’s another story).

Have you had your Covid vaccine recently? Apparently a lot of women have had issues with changes to menstrual cycle.
Or how old are you? Could it be the start of
menopause?

Have you recently had the vaccine? Mine was 5 days late after my first jab.

That’s a good point. I had my second jab last month - just as I was due my period (the very day in fact) and it came as usual.

I’m 36
