Assuming that you have regular menses, pregnancy cannot be ruled out, as the day you had an intercourse is the most fertile period of the menstrual cycle. You can repeat the urine pregnancy test once again with another brand available in the store.
Do blood test for Beta HCG.
If that is also negative, take a gynecologist opinion.
My period was irregular; my last period was in last Oct2009. And every month I had only spotting for one day. Why is it like that? I encountered this always since before I had irregular menstrual period. What is the cause? Is there anyone who can give me an explanation about this?
Missed or irregular periods have variety of causes, among them pregnancy should be the first cause to be considered. The others being;
- Stress, weight gain, or weight loss.
- Person taking birth control pills.
- Menopausal syndrome.
- Hormonal imbalance
- Menarche, the beginning of menstruation for the first time may be irregular.
- Poly cystic ovarian disease.
You have to rule out the causes one by one with the help of blood test or any other scientific investigation necessary.
Pregnancy can be checked by a simple urine pregnancy test.
Cope up stress, check your weight by proper diet intake.
It is too early to conclude that you are in early menopausal phase .
Menopause is said when there is irregular menses or no menses for 1 year.
You should not be worried more if you miss a single menstrual cycle. There can be many causes for amenorrhea.
Hypothyroidism can give rise to irregular menstrual cycles, but since your TSH values are normal and you are taking thyroid pills, there are less chances of this being the cause.
Anemia is also known to produce amenorhea. Check your hemoglobin and correct it by taking suitable medicine .
Mental stress , cigarette smoking can also cause amenorrhea.
I am 38 years old. For last one month I missed my period. I am unmarried. I have no sexual relation with anybody. Is it early menopause? I am a thyroid patient also.I Take my medicines regularly. My TSH is also normal by getting tablets. What is the cause of delayed period?
Will my menses return? I missed my period for 2 months going into 3 months. I am 40 years old. What can I take or do for it to come back because I want a child when I get married at 41 years old next year
Irregular menses can occur in many conditions. You have not given your age. Assuming you are of the fertile age group, you have to check your blood levels for anemia because it is one of the causes for irregular menses.
There may be hormonal imbalance also. For that you can undergo thyroid hormone level test. Meanwhile you can wait for some time, say one week or so without any medication. Some times body itself regulates its mechanism.
Further, if more investigation is necessary, sonography of abdomen and pelvis may be done to rule out polycystic disease of the ovary. Even increased weight can give rise to irregular menses.
Mental stress, cigarette smoking can also lead short follicular phase, other causes are, breast feeding, fibroids cysts etc.
Absence of menses or irregular menstruation if of short duration need not be the cause of worry. It may be due to some emotional disturbance, anxiety, or grief of recent origin.
It will cure of itself.
But if the menses is regularly irregular, you have to search for the cause.
The following may be few causes leading to amenorrhea.
- Severe illness like jaundice, typhoid, anemia.
- Pregnancy has to be ruled out. A simple urine pregnancy test will confirm it.
- Discontinuing of contraceptive pill after taking for a along time.
- Poly cystic ovarian disease.
- Hypothyroidism
- Excessive athletic exercise.
- Obesity
- Malnourishment.
Do not worry if there is some irregularity in your cycle, some times hormonal changes can lead to irregular periods.
As you are certain of not having pregnancy, I presume that there was no sexual contact or any relation last 2 to 3 months.
I will advice you to wait for a while, before taking any medication.
Do you have a regular menstrual cycle since menarche?
When did your first menstruation start?
There are many causes for delayed menses.
- Pregnancy, a urine pregnancy test will show the result if it is positive or negative.
- In pubertal age, frequently there is hormonal imbalance resulting in delayed menses.
- Investigate for anemia.
- Contraceptive pills, also cause delayed menses.
- If your weight is in excess, there are chances of irregular periods.
- Acute disease like typhoid or jaundice, may delay menses.
The cause of this delay is of a lesser concern because you are sure of no sexual contact; secondly the delay is of 4 days only, I would suggest to wait for some few days, you will resume your menses.
To reduce your weight, you have to do regular exercise, and eat proper food.
1. Remain active throughout the day, increase your non exercise activity thermogenesis that accounts for your daily activity, like walking to market places, climbing stairs, clean the house, and cook. This type of activities can help to burn unto 1000 to 1500 calories per day.
2. Ball workouts: a Swiss ball assist in strengthening the stomach muscles, it will help you to have a correct posture and a fabulous flat stomach.
3. Stay happy, if under stress reduce it by meditation as stress increases the level of cortisol hormone, and high level of cortisol hormone can lead to abdominal weight gain.
4. Eat small meals more frequently. It helps to reduce hunger pangs.
5. Quit sugar or reduce sugar intake. Do not consume processed food as it contains plenty of sugar in the form of fructose.
6. Practice yoga.
The pain in your thighs after exercise will be there for few days due to the stretching of the muscles, but it will gradually become less after some time. So keep on doing light exercise at least 5 days in a week.
My last period was in April and now its October. I have been having irregular periods all my life. I went to the doctor for a check up he said I was ok and all I need is to have some pills for Hormones and they will become regular. Do you think I am normal? I am 24 year and am going to start the pills I think next week .
Am really scared. Do you think I can have children.
Why not have a second opinion on your condition and do some more tests to find out what is causing your menstruation to be delayed. If you are not pregnant, then this delay with your period for 6 months is puzzling. I think you must see a gynecologist to diagnose what the problem is.
Withdrawing does not always guarantee that you can prevent getting pregnant. Just one sperm is enough to get you pregnant. You may want to wait a few days more and check if your period starts. Else get a pregnancy test done. I am assuming you always get periods regularly otherwise.
Slight delay in menstrual cycle is common; it may be due to hormonal change. Pregnancy must also be considered a possible cause. To confirm pregnancy you can perform urine pregnancy test after few days.
