6 anledningar till att din mens kan bli sen förutom att vara gravid
Oavsett om du får din mens var 28:e dag som en klocka eller har ett flöde som föredrar att komma och gå som det vill, känns det ofta som att ha en menstruation med MIA som en anledning till oro. Ditt sinne rinner fritt av tankar på graviditetstest och ultraljud och att se ditt barn ta sin examen - ett imaginärt liv som du har skapat och vårdat och hjälpt till att växa, allt eftersom den där lilla blodbiten du hoppades hitta i morse inte klarade det. utseende. Oavsett om graviditet just nu är ditt mål eller om du avvaktar tillfälligt eller för alltid, är ett foster i livmodern verkligen inte den enda orsaken till en menstruation. Här är 6 anledningar, förutom att vara gravid, till att din mens kan vara sen.
1. Stress
Om du har varit trasig på jobbet eller hanterat andra stressfaktorer, särskilt traumatiska, kan din mens vara sen. Detta kallas hypotalamisk amenorré . "Hypotalamus är hjärnans centrum och styr reproduktionen. Det producerar ett hormon som signalerar produktionen av andra hormoner som behövs för ägglossning”, enligt Shady Grove Fertility. Så om du har varit stressad över något - stort som smått - gör ditt bästa för att hitta tid för avkoppling. Om du har upplevt en traumatisk situation bör du ringa din läkare och söka en professionell åsikt.
2. Att vara sjuk
De fantastiska saker din kropp gör är alla sammanflätade på någon nivå. När ett system inte fungerar så bra som det borde påverkas de andra också. Det är som ett spel om överlevnad – vilken kroppslig process är den viktigaste just nu? Om du har en vanlig förkylning, influensa eller någon annan typ av sjukdom, är din menstruationscykel troligen den första som stängs av för att få fart på resten av din kropp igen.
3. Viktfluktuationer
Säg hej till din hypotalamus igen (centrum i hjärnan som styr reproduktiva hormoner, som östrogen). När du upplever extrema fluktuationer i din vikt kan mängden östrogen som frigörs påverka om du får mens eller inte. Om du går ner mycket i vikt snabbt kommer din kropp inte att producera tillräckligt med östrogen. För mycket viktökning och din kropp kommer att få för mycket östrogen. Oavsett vilket kan detta vara en anledning till att din mens är sen.
4. Ändra ditt schema
Mindre förändringar i ditt schema kommer inte att påverka din menstruationscykel men intensiva sådana, som att byta till nattpass eller ha jetlag från att resa över världen (du jetsetter, du!), kan det. Den goda nyheten är att det är tillfälligt. När din kropp vänjer sig till ditt nya schema, bör din mens återupptas som normalt. Om de inte gör det är det värt att ringa din läkare om.
5. Hormonell obalans
Hormoner spelar naturligtvis en stor roll i din menstruationscykel. De bestämmer tyngden, längden och till och med om din mens kommer överhuvudtaget. Om dina hormoner är ur spel kanske du inte får mens. En orsak kan vara PCOS . En annan kan vara endometrios . Om du misstänker att så är fallet, ring din läkare. De kommer att kunna sätta dig på en väg för att hjälpa till att reglera symtomen.
6. Din preventivmedel
Ja, även om du inte hoppar över sockerpillren kan din preventivmedel redigera din menstruationscykel. Oavsett om du har en spiral, får Depo-sprutor eller är på p-piller, kan de hormonella förändringarna som orsakas av preventivmedel ibland eliminera eller minska din mens. Även om detta ibland kan vara en välkommen bieffekt, är det bra att veta att det faktiskt är orsaken till en sen eller obefintlig mens.
Om du tror att du är gravid är det alltid en bra idé att ta ett test. Annars, prata med din läkare om din sena mens - de kan ge värdefull insikt och lugna ditt sinne. Om du letar efter en hållbar, stressfri period, kolla in vårt utbud av tidstypiska produkter .

Hi Jacq!
Please understand that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot give medical advise. Regarding whether you should stop taking iron supplement, please consult a doctor.

I started taking iron supplements 3 weeks ago after a general-health blood test came back saying I had extremely low iron levels (I stopped eating red meat a year ago).
My period, which has always been like clockwork, is now 3 days late, I’m not pregnant either, but I’m supposed to try to get pregnant with this coming cycle, that is not coming.
I’m taking Spatone natural liquid iron and Garden of Life Raw Prenatal. Should I stop?
Hi Haley
Hi Anon
There is a lot that can affect the period and cause it to come later. If you worry a lot or think you could be pregnant it would be best to consult your doctor. Only your doctor can make the necessary examinations and determine whether you are pregnant or what could be causing your period to be late.
Best regards,

i’m 7 days late for my period but about 3 days before it i started putting cream up my vagina to clear out a yeast infection it was a 3 day process and i had to do it every night for 3 days does that affect my period?
Hi there. I have been sick with severe flu on and off for 5 weeks now. My expected date of ovulation was the 26th of June. On the 28th of June, things got pretty hot and heavy between a friend and I. He did not penetrate me, nor did he ejaculate. We were grinding and I was in my panties. I was supposed to get my period between the 9th and 15th of July, I still haven’t gotten it. On Wednesday, the 17th of July I took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. I took a repeat test this morning (21 July) and it also came out negative. What are my chances of getting pregnant from his pre-ejaculate fluid through my panties? If I’m not pregnant, why is my period so late. Please help me.

My last period was at the end of april , and ended may 1st for 5 days . I never had any sex , and im freaking out . Only sexual thing i had was recieving head from my boyfriend . Why is my period so late ? Someone please help .
My last period was during March 28 – April 3. According to the Flo calendar (I track my menstruation period.) Im supposed to get my period during the last week of April, the Flo app isnt accurate but the predicted period dates are usually close when I do get my period.
The first time I had intercourse during the month of April was on April 9, we were using condoms. We also had protected sex at April 24. Usually a week before my period my breasts become sore but before or even the last week of April I didnt feel any soreness so that’s when we became a bit worried.
We took a pregnancy test last May 6 and the result was negative. We also had sex the same day, unprotected but pull out.
Until now, i dont feel any sore breasts but I do know that sometimes I do get my period w/o that symptom but its been too long. I took another pregnancy test yesterday which was a negative and another this morning after I woke up which is also a negative.
The longest time I havent had period was 40 days but its been 50 now. Nothing hurts. Do u have any theories?

Heya Logan,
I would think that if you haven’t seen your period for 3 months and you’ve taken 6 positive pregnancy tests, it would be safe to assume that you probably are pregnant.
That being said, we recommend reaching out to your doctor for an official confirmation.
I haven’t gotten my period for 3 months and I took like six test and all cane out positive is it safe to say I’m pregnant ?
Hi. My period was on the 20th April. I took antibiotics while my period was running for killing bacterias. (amoxy) 500g per day. And had intercourse a day before my ovulation. It’s now my period circle,and it’s not even filling a pantry line at all for 3 days now .And my period last for 4day normal. I’m I pregnant perhaps?

Content I did my first period on January
18 unfortunately am pregnant while menstrating ….I did D&C on the 5th of march….up till now I haven’t see my period……can someone please help me out?
Hiya Isabella,
Both of the reasons you mentioned are common culprits for late periods, but because everybody and every BODY is different, I can’t say for certain that it’s the reason why you’re late.
If you’re feeling like you don’t want to run out and take a test, it may not hurt to chat with your doctor about what you’re experiencing. They should be able to offer some valuable insight and ease your mind a bit.
Wishing you all the best. <3
