Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. Since you have missed two periods already, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Have you taken a pregnancy test to be sure?

Of course, missing periods just happens sometimes (with no real explanation) and the feeling of being bloated could be many different things so that would be hard to pinpoint exactly what is going on.

I would first rule out the possibility of being pregnant by purchasing a pregnancy test. Secondly, have you been stressed, depressed, etc? These things may also cause you to miss your period, (overly tired) and if pregnancy is ruled out as negative, you may want to make an appointment with your OB GYN to find out the exact reason you are not having your periods.

Could you kindly keep us updated on your pregnancy test results?
