Halfway through my menstrual cycle at about 2 weeks I had a vaginal bleed of which I had to use a tampon (however this was during an adventure holiday and I did not know if the extra activity could have effected it?), my periods previous to this had been fine and regular even though they are quite often a few days late, what could this be? Also I am now 3 days late onto my next period and am slighlty worried are there any problems that I need to be aware of? And what should I do next? And could these be related?

That happens to me as well but I'm pretty sure that I don't have anything serious. I asked my mom about this (being that moms know everything) and she said that's what happens with people who have irregular periods. As to why you're having irregular periods, it's probably because you're stressing over it. The more you stress, the later your period will come. Just like pregnancy anxiety. You're so worried your pregnant, so you wait and wait for your period but the more you freak out the later and later it comes. Once that happened to me. I didn't get my period for 4 months and I was on the verge of going crazy. If you're really worried, go to a gynecologist or your doctor. That should give you some ease.

Thank you ever so much for this! Do you think I should take a pregnancy test though? And I think I've done the wrong thing and looked at answers on search engines that have made me feel worse haha

It's no problem. Um. I say wait 2-4 weeks and if it still doesn't show, take a pregnancy test. Another idea... is well... masturbating is known to relieve stress. I'm not sure if you do that, but it could possibly calm your nerves enough to finally let it happen. Have you been eating a lot or too little lately? I tend to eat too little or too much when period is coming soon.

Ye I too tend to change my diet a lot around my period :S so could be to do with that, thing is I don't know what your views are about abortion etc but I personally feel I would not be ready for the responsibility of a child etc therefore the quicker I knew if I was pregnant the easier things would be. So maybe I should leave it few more days and then take one... hmm ye haha could try that, thank you ever so much for this its making me feel a lot better!

I'm pro choice. Haha, and I understand completely what you're talking about. You can have an abortion during any time of the pregnancy but after 3 months it's considered partial birth abortions because you actually have to go into labor but nonetheless it is an abortion. Take your time for the mean time.
