I'm quite anxious because i've never been late in my life, i'm always early if anything, and i haven't had my period in about forty days. I'm really worried because i hadn't noticed but i weighed myself recently and i've gained a few pounds. I can't be pregnant right? I am a virgin. Thank you!

Hello Anon
If you're not having unprotected sex, there should be no need to worry. We can't say why you skipped a month but a pregnancy test should be taken to rule it out.

Hi! I got my first period on Christmas of 2017 and I am 12 years old. It has been a little over 70 days since I have gotten my last period and I never had sex. Am I ok?

I’m 18, turning 19 in August, I haven’t gotten my period yet, I always get them on time or like a day/ two late. But this month I haven’t gotten it yet (10days late), I get the symptoms that I usually have before my period but nothing, I get cramps and tender breasts. I never had sex.

Hello.
It's not uncommon to have a late or missed period now and then. Many things can impact a woman's cycle, stress, illness, or a change in body chemistry, to name a few. It's nothing to worry about.

Why is my period over a week late if I’ve never had sex. I started less than a year ago so I understand that it’s normal to be irregular but I’m really stressed an anxious over it. Please give me some explanation.

Hello Anon!
May 29, 2018 - 1:20pmIt's like hormonally related - stress or a change in body chemistry is likely the cause. It'll be along in time.

I’m 14 and pretty new to my period considering it started 3months a go in February. But I have been super stressed over the fact that it’s over a week late this month. I think it has to do with my stress levels but I’m not sure. I’m a complete and total virgin but I’m still worried. Please tell me what this could be.
