Why Have I Missed My Period? Am I Pregnant?
Tuesday July 15, 2003
Women's Health Forum:
Help! I have missed my period. And I never have before in my life. It's so strange. I have pain sometimes at night like I'm going to start my period but I don't. I'm very tired all the time and hungry. Also I get dizzy and I am constipated. I feel sometimes like I have gained alot of weight but it might just be from all of these problems.
I haven't been dieting, working out hard, or been under stress. I thought I might be pregnant as my husband and I have been using the "pulling out method" for awhile now. So I took two HPTs and they were both negative. Then I went to the doctor. She told me the HPTs weren't accurate because it was too soon. But I took a blood test and it was negative also. I have another doctor's appointment coming up soon. But I was just wondering if anyone has any advice while I'm setting here on my thumbs.
What do you think?

if i miss my period but i not get fat or nothing like that what should i do about it ‘
write back to me
all you girls should just go see a doctor. I really dont think this is to uncommon. It’s most likely nothing to worry about. Whatever it is you can handle whatever is put in front of you. Good luck!
well this is happening to me. i’ve done to HPT but bothe neg can’t pluck up courage to go to docs but will have to. think mine might be down to the fact i’ve joined a gym and go 3 times a week for 30mins intensive training my body not used to this much excercise so maybe its adjusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happened to me ive been pregnant before and had one abortion, so i knw if i was pregnant it wouldove showed up, i have another appt this week but im afraid if this is happening to alot of women mayby its a conspiracy … alil freaky if you ask me im alil frigtened now and i never wanted to have my period more then i do right now.
i think the same is happening to me. and im bluddy petrified.
again let me know if anyone finds anything please!
The same thing is happening to me. Its the first time in my whole life I’ve missed my period. I’ve recently started Lexapro for anxiety, I’ve read that in rare occurances a missed period can happen. Too, I recently started a new BC Pill. Dr. said very common to miss periods in the first couple of months. I’ve taken 5 HPT but all are negative. Dr. said if I get overly concerned to come in for a Prego test. But after 5 HTP Im thinking there is some other connection. Any thoughts?
Nine times out of ten, if you have missed 2 periods you have a very high percentage that you are pregnant. You can not depend on HPT alone. There are many common symptoms during the first eight weeks that will happen. You can experience bloating, frequent headaches, nausea, tenderness in the breasts, darkening of the nipple, food cravings, drowsiness, and mood swings. Sometimes these symptoms occur because of stress, change in environment, getting of birth control, etc. The best advice I can give you is to wait until you have missed two periods then make a doctor’s appointment to see what’s going on with your body.
It’s happening to me too. Not sure what is wrong. Never felt like this before. Im worried . I go to the doc next week? My period has been one week late every month since Jan. And this month nothing.Ive been cramping mildly for three weeks off and on. I’m two weeks late, bloating, burping like never before.I’ve taken two test and both were negative. I can’t wait to find out what is going on with my body. i will let you know!
i am 11 and i have started my period when i was 8 and i always have regular periods but now i havent had my period for 3 months but i am still virgin! i am really worried! how that possible to miss 3 period even i havent had sex! can anyone help me please?! i havent got any symptoms like nipples sores, headache alot, mood swing etc.. i am only 11! help!
Im in the same boat. I turn 30 the first of May and it was the first time I had ever missed a period! There was a lot of stress in my life leading up to it so I took a couple of HPT & finally started a week & 1/2 late. This month the same thing but no stress, I am a week & 1/2 late again this month. Im going to take another HPT when I wake up this afternoon (work midnites). Im going to make a appt with my doctor and see if they can tell me whats up & look into possibly getting my tubes tied. I dont like the idea of doing it but I dont want kids & neither does my husband. If anyone knows whats in the water to make us miss the periods please reply!!! Maybe its the heat!?
i’m 17 y i’m still virgin ..but the period stoped those last 4 months ..i’am gaining wight ..in those 4 months ..
i have no idea about what happening ..i’am soo worried plzz help me
Same thing is happening to me, it is almost the end of the second month that I have not had my period. Ne and my Boyfriend have been using the pull-out method, but there is something called pre-ejaculation that I heard can get you prego! I have taken two EPTs and both negative! My nipples are really sore, I have gained weight and I am hungry all the time! What is wrong with me? Let me know if you find out anything!

Hey Im 17 and have only had sex once recently and used a condom. Im pretty sure I cant be pregnate but my period has never been late before and its already three weeks late! I took a pregnacy test and it said negative…nothing else is wrong besides i have low pains/cramps. What is wrong with me? I havent had any weight gain or loss and I dont think I have had stress or anything.
hey lessuh…im going through the same thing just as everyone else…but i only had sex once too! and we used a condom.
& its just im so worried b/c i never missed a period before either…
but i DID read that when you have sex it changes the rate in your hormones so that may mean that your period is just changing thats all and may be a little late……thats what i hope lol
same thing is happenign too me. I was due to come on the 15th of September, but nothing happened. I took several test and went to the dr’s office, but all came back negative. I feel as if I am. My pd is not usually this late. Am I taking the test too early, please explain when you should take the test.
The same thing is happening to me too!
I’m 15, and I’ve been having cramps, but my period isn’t coming.
I’m off by a week so far.
I’m so worried, I don’t want to be pregnant.
the same thing is happenign to me im a week late. where are all the answers
Ok, for all you girls that are in your pre-teens, THIS IS NORMAL. When you first start your period, you may miss a few times. If you aren’t sexually active, I’m sure you have nothing to worry about.
I’m in the same boat as everyone else. I’ve been married for five months and this is the first time in my life I’ve missed a period. I was on birth control for the first month of marriage, but its made me so sick it wasn’t worth it. We both want kids, just the timing would be way off right now. I’ve taken 3 HPT’s and all were neg. I made a Dr. appointment because thats the best way to find out. I read somewhere that sometimes your body doesn’t even ovulate every month so there would be no reason to have a period if you didn’t ovulate right? I don’t know for sure, but I’m kinda relieved to see that I’m not the only one out there going through this.
hey im 17 and i am 2 weeks late…. and my period is never late ….i took 2 pregnancy tests already but they cam out negative…. i have been getting pain in my stomach but they only last about a couple or minutes…im really nervous and so is my boyfriend…. please if anyone finds anything out … please let me know!
I’m in the same boat. Never missed a period. (Was on BC) Went off Jan.1. Got my period on JAn.28 and now i am over 1 week late! 2 HPT Neg. Went for a blood test this moring and will hopefully get some answers. Does anyone else have any info??
Missed period does not mean pregnancy. It is also extremely common for women to miss a period when on, or have just gotten off birth control. Missing periods do not necessarily mean anything is wrong. The suggestion for the day is to see your doctor if other symptoms accompany the missed period and don’t worry too much about it. God bless and take care.
I think the majority of you are most likely experiencing irregular periods. I say this because most of your ages are young and you haven’t had your period long enough to become regular. If you think that it could be something “more”, then speak to your mother, guardian and go to the doctor.
So I also have these symptoms- missed perios, weight gain, period-like cramps, no pooping…. There are lots of people in common, but are they prego symptoms?
im going through the same thing im 15 and i have irregular periods anyway soemtimes they are brown all the way through for gods sake but anyway i go by 28days per cycle so i have some idea where abouts my period will be but this month its 4days late this is the 3rd day i dont no if i should be worrying or not or leave it for a week because i havnt put on any weight there had been a slight change in my appitite as in i have been eating more for a bout 3 months. but then again i just turned veggie so it might be adjusting im baffled and have no idea. my breasts are hard and sore to touch but i dont know if its growing pains because my breasts are not fully developed. i have done 2 home tests too they both came negative but im terrified of injections
i wouldnt worry untill u have missed 3. its normal to miss one or two when we are young. good luck godblesss…
so basically me and my boyfriend had sex, and he came inside of me. I am not on birth controll, but have a tendancie to skip a period here and there. this is almost the 7th week I haven’t had my period. is it possible that I might have an infection of some sort, it seems all the pregnancy tests I take come out negative. I’m very confused.
I am in the same situation as every body i have been married for 6 months now but i have missed my period since i married i have taken 3 hpt and all were negative but i have never taken birth control since i was born if any one knows what makes us miss the period please reply
Same thing is happening to me. I guess it’s pretty common to miss a period once in a while but I’ve had mine for 20 years and the only time I’ve missed before was when I was pregnant.
This time I have an ovarian cyst that’s causing a delay in my cycle. Three HPT’s all negative and then an ultrasound showed an ovarian cyst which is throwing my hormones out of whack.
Well,I now realize that this is more common than i thought.Ok, I was suppose to get my period around the 5 is now the 19 makes me about 2 weeks late my boobs are sore , thats about it. Took like 5 hpt!! and all negative, went to local clinic and still negative, which made me feel alot better, I dont have any other unsusuall symptoms..It only worries me that i havent gotten my period yet,i’ve never missed one either, how normal is that..any thoughts??by the way i made another appt.lol to be really sure.
By the way, Jen you posted a comment on march 4th, what happen since the blood test??
The same thing is happening to me. i took the morning after pill because the condom broke i had my period once after that then not for two months then again very light. i took a 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative. what is up with that?
I know that it can be common for “women” to miss periods, by this I mean women who have had their periods for more than 5-10 years. I am 30 got my first period at about 12 and a half. I have 4 kids also had my tubes tied in May ‘00 for almost a year now my periods have been getting later and later now I am almost 3 months late and have NEVER been this late. I did some research and found that it is very common for women to have some sort of Pituitary malfunction and/or a pituitary tumor(benign). The pituitary gland is responsible for hormones, thyroid and sugar levels. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to have a few blood tests done. I know I am not PG as I have taken 3 HPT’s all were negative. I guess I can only hope that the problem is with my pituitary gland. I will update when I get results back……..Happy Easter gals!
My period is a week late and I am usually like clockwork. I’m not on the pill, but we do use condoms. I’ve had at least three normal periods, not anything light or spotty but completely normal, since we last had sex. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I am more stressed than normal, but I am still concerned. Wouldn’t I know if I was 12+ weeks pregnant though?
if i were to be 4 months pregnant how much weight would i have gained?
YESS O M GODD I TUK 2 HPTS TEST AND IT SEYS NEGETIVE IM SOO SCAREDDD 2 GO 2 DA DOCTOR I MISSED MY PERIOD 4 2 MONTHS NOW ….I HAV A FELLIN IM NOT PREGNANT BUT U KNEVA KNOO …MA MOMZ IS GONNA KILL ME IF I AM PLZZ I NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!
So all of us girls here are basically in the same boat. blah blah blah. Seriously, the smart thing to do is WAIT and NOT WORRY. Stress can post pone your periods even longer. And like mentioned above, irregular periods happen alot in young women. If you don’t have your period within 2 months, then i’d go buy a test. If anylonger, and tests still show negative, go to the doctor. It’s the best thing to do. Take Care!
Does anybody know the answer to these quistions????????Me too!!!
