All right. So I've been bleeding for seven years now. I've never been more than a few days late. . .I think 6 was the most, and it was right when I first started getting my period. Yet here I am, a good week and a half late, and I can't quite figure out why. Yes, I'm in college, and yes I'm stressed, but I feel I've been even more stressed out than this before, and I've never been so late.

I guess what I'm asking is, is this worrisome? Or does your body just randomly choose when it feels too stressed out to menstruate? Either way, I'm giving myself 'till the end of spring break before I go see a doctor. I figure break will give me a chance to relax. :-)

The same thing happened to me when I started college, and it was attributed to stress until testing indicated that it was actually Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. No big panic; it's not malignant, just very annoying. And I was actually a month late!

I agree that you should visit your doctor on your break.

If it's only a week and a half, don't freak out--yet. Yeah, stress can do nasty things to your body; also, have you gained/lost a lot of weight recently, or changed your eating habits or excercise habits? That can do it too.. lovely how the system's so touchy, isn't it? :)

IF it goes on till the end of your break (I assume another week) or IF you're getting odd cramping or fever or anything like that or IF there's a chance you might be pregnant, I suggest you get it checked out.... but if it's just late now, I'd give it a few more days. Relax, etc :)

disclaimer: I'm no doctor. If you think something's wrong, worrisome, etc, get it checked pronto--your own instincts can be your best aid here.

Heh, as soon as I posted this, my period came. :-) It's kind of like when you take your car to the shop to show them what's wrong, and it works perfectly. . .not that I'm complaining. I like my body to work perfectly.
