I'm almost 3 weeks late, and the thought alone STRESSES ME OUT!
What happened last month was I went to the doctors due to a low back strain. I needed to find out if it was a strain or just something wrong with my back. The doctor prescribed me some muscle relaxants which I may have taken 3 or 4 of because I did not like how I felt while on them. I honestly felt like a zombie!
I did some research online about the pills he pushed me, and apparently they are also used as an ANTIDEPRESSANT. That is PROBABLY the reason why I felt so "OFF" that whole week. On top of that, I was scheduled to get my period the following week, which came 2 weeks LATER.
Keeping with my schedule, I wanted to wait for this month to see if I'd be regular, but now I'm almost 3 weeks. I took a pregnancy test, and that came out negative. Lately I have been feeling quite tired, definitely still worried about the idea of being pregnant or even something really wrong with me, increase in hunger, the feeling of about to get my period, still low back pain! I'm worried even just writing this, but I do understand all the causes of a late period, and yes I can agree, that my sleeping patterns are off, with work sometimes I don't get to eat on time, smoker, and also trying to plan a trip for next year *very stressful*

Do you think I'm okay? I am usually one time, if anything a day or so late but nothing in the past that would scare me like this time. I'm 25 and FORTUNATELY no link to cancer in my family. Do you think it's just my crazy lifestyle that is affecting me? PLEASE HELP!!

Stress, anemic, lack of iron, poor diet could all be reasons.
I would not recommend iron supplements though.

It is not uncommon to be late or miss a period altogether once in awhile for no apparent reason.

That being said... all these things you have been going through are a perfect receipt for your body to worry about other things than your period.
