Hi, my name is Linsay I am 21 years old. I have been looking through all these womens' posts who have had late periods. I am having the same problem. I have taken several pregnancy tests and they are negative. I have already had one baby and I don't feel pregnant, at least not like I did the first time I was pregnant. I didn't have morning sickness, just tender breasts and abdominal cramping.

I have had some crazy symptoms: acne which i haven't had ever!! (but now it is clearing up), cramps like I'm about to start but I haven't, urinating alot, extremely hungry, very irratable, bloated, extremely tired....etc...

I was wondering if a bladder or urinary tract infection could cause a delayed period or maybe a strict exercise regimen? I don't know. I am starting to get worried. Last month it was two days late, but I just figured it was because I had been running or maybe it was changing to a different time of the month.

I am very worried. I need advice! I am leaving for basic training in May and I am freaked out. I thought maybe it could be a cyst or something like that. This is the first time I have ever had a late period in the last two years. The year before that I was pregnant. Please if there is anyone experiencing these symptoms and have been to the doctor please let me know. Or if you just have any advice it would be appreciated!!

Thank you,
Linsay

Womens cycles can change over time. I had a regular as clockwork 27 day cycle for years, and the suddenly changed to a 34 day cycle without any warning! Freaked me out lol! But it is quite normal for this to happen.

If you are worried about your health I would advise seeing your dr, just to rule out pregnancy or a cyst, but its quite normal for cycles to change, so dont worry too much just yet.

But saying all that, I had no pregnancy symptoms at all with my son (my 3rd child) until week 35 when I had pre eclampsia. All pregnancies are different!

I started my period!!! Thank God!!
