Late period?

[poetry-to-prose.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, I just joined this yesterday but I already have a question. I'm 20 years old and have had my period since I was 13. It's been regular since I wsa 15 but for some reason, this month I haven't gotten it yet. It's already two weeks late. There's no chance of it being a pregnancy, but what are some other factors that can delay it for this long?
Thank you so much

Welcome to the community...

I've had similiar problems..for me, lots of stress usually causes me delays.

stress can cause you to delay your period or even skip the entire routine. it happened to me and i consulted a doctor, it's normal. don't sweat it!

Thanks! Yeah, I started today. It just freaked me out since it had never happened.

1) Stress
2) Losing too much weight (eating disorders especially)
3) Sickness
4) Malnutrition (not enough iron, namely)
5) Some conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS can delay your periods, I believe.


If you skip next month as well, you should go to your regular gyno and have them give you a once-over to make sure nothing is wrong.

Thank you so much for all those reasons. I actually started today so it was just really delayed

- Change in your diet
- Change in exercise regimen (more or less)
- Stress

Those are usually the main contenders. :)

Other than that: Love your icon. Hansonnnn! (And I mean this, I'm not being sarcastic. I know it can sometimes be hard to tell, heh.)

Do you drink many diet sodas? Aspartame, the sweetner most commonly found in diet sodas and other sweet diet things makes my period late. Ever since I figured that out, I've refused to consume any of it. Ick.

I didn't know that but I don't drink diet anything- it tastes gross to me. Thank you!
