What can cause a late period other than pregnancy?
My period is 8 days late and the test came negative. Im a bit confused matlab if not pregnancy then what else can delay it like this? thoda tension ho raha hai. anyone been thru this?
I am also trying to conceive and even a 2 day delay makes me so nervous. But my doctor told me that sometimes just the anxiety of trying to conceive can delay your periods. Hope you get your good news soon.
Sometimes heavy mental stress or even travel can delay our cycle. Just keep your mind peaceful, chant a little if you like, and take proper rest. Whatever is meant to happen will happen beautifully, take care of your health first.
There are actually so many reasons for a delayed period, so don't stress immediately. Change in routine, sudden weight changes, or even normal hormonal imbalance can cause it. If it is delayed by more than a week, best is to do a home test first.
Actually, extreme dieting or suddenly binge eating junk can throw your cycle off track! I remember my periods got delayed by 10 days once when I was constantly eating out and stressed. Have a warm bowl of soup and do a pregnancy test to be sure.
My mother-in-law always says that body heat or eating too much 'heaty' food can cause minor delays. But honestly, if it's delayed by many days, please consult your gynecologist to check for thyroid or PCOS issues.
If you have recently delivered and are breastfeeding, periods can be highly irregular or completely miss for months. I didn't get my period for almost 8 months while nursing my baby. It's totally normal due to prolactin hormone.
