Have your period ever skipped?

Sometimes stress can make you skip. If you are concerned and have done the deed I would take a test to be on the safe side & if you have a Dollar Tree by you they have reliable tests for $1 better than wasting $15-20 @ a regular store. Good Luck I hope things turn out the way you hope they turn out.

I've experience this before. Mine was like 6 days late. I panicked but I told myself that I've always had an irregular period so things like it can happen sometimes. My period is sometimes 5 days early, while most of the time, it is 5-6 days late. It even came to a point that I didn't have my period for almost 4 months. Maybe you're stressed out or thinking of too much? Because factors like those can affect your menstrual cycle. Don't worry too much :) If you're unsure (whether your pregnant or not) then better have a pregnancy test now :) Hope I somehow enlightened your mood. Happy myLotting!

hey don't worry some times it may happen. If you lose weight suddenly due to improper diet or if you have put up you weight sudddenly this may happen.

Hi mermaid...The only time that I was late in getting my period was when I was pregnant and right after I gave birth to my son. If I were you I'd check a home test. Good luck!

Nope actually. My period is the opposite of yours. Instead of being skip, it seems that it doubles every month and i myself don't know if it is unhealthy or not. But i have heard of several cases just like yours, my classmates tried being skipped for more than 5 months or maybe almost a year. It was really scary for her, and i think it is really abnormal though. You should really consult it to the doctor.

If you are stressed, lose weight, very tired you can miss it. Also it all depends on your body. I never get mine in the month of March. (Don't ask me why, I think it is due to February being so short).

sometimes yes... but i rarely missed my period for more than 10 days... if you are worried, may be you can do a pregnancy test by yourself at home... you can buy the kits at the supermarket or pharmacy... that's what i did in the past... just to ease your mind, you might want to do that as soon as possible... take care and have a nice day...

I have only been late when I was pregnant. Get a home pregnancy test and take it to ease your mind (or confirm your anxieties). You can find them fairly cheap at Dollar General or Wal-Mart now. My periods have always been regular so I never was late unless I was pregnant.

Hello mermaidivy, Mine is not really regular and the very first time I got pregnant, I only realized it when I was three or four months pregnant. I didn't even jot down my last period and that's the reason I realized it quite late. Normally it will come every month just that the time is irregular sometimes...

Until I started birth control, my period was EXTREMELY irregular. Sometimes it would decide to come twice in a month or not at all. It really depends on how regular you are as to whether or not you should be worried.

Yes I skipped a whole month before. I have been 3 weeks or so late before. If you have changed your diet or are stressed out worried it will effect changes to your body. If you recently started exercising or are excersising more it will have a effect on it.

hello mermaid ivy. i am a man but allow me to respond to this discussion. if this is the first time that it happened to you then i suggest that you go buy a pregnancy test kit. my wife also experienced the same things...her period was delayed for one day and she said it has never happened before. turned out she was already almost 2 months pregnant then. good luck and take care.

My period once came late, like a week or so late. The next month, my period never came at all. Of course I was worried. But I knew I was not pregnant because I did not do it. Then I did some research on the internet and asked my doctor. She said that it was just because of stress and poor diet. It was true because for those two months, I was working overtime everyday at work and was super stressed out. At the same time, because I was so busy, I was not able to eat dinner most days and lunch was always hurried and usually was fast food like noodles or biscuits.

Don't worry it's normal. I'm married for a year now, and 3 months ago i was delayed for 10 days too, all my preg tests were negative and I already visited my obgyne to check what's wrong. I have a heart condition so its a big deal for me... but she said that its normal for women even those with regular cycles to get delayed at times. It really freaked me out, coz i've never been delayed that long. She said, its just STRESS... coz im thinking too much and worry too much... She prescribed some medications to induce menstration... and then in the afternoon, i had it... lol, it's a complete waste of money, estrogen is a bit expensive... lol

I have had times when my period was late or even skipped. IT was caused by being so stressed out and my body wasn't functioning properly. But I understand being worried about things cause I know I was LOL. It could also skip if you have been really sick lately.

Yes, I've missed my period before. Mostly due to being pregnant, though there was one time back when I was a teenager that I was late, yet I couldn't have been pregnant because I wasn't sexually active at that time. Though I don't think my mom believed me and she took me down to the doctor. If I remember right I had been dehydrated (or maybe it was something else) and it screwed up my cycle. The other times, as I had mentioned, were due to being pregnant. I don't think any woman can ever really prepare for birth, especially the first time around, because they don't know what to expect. Sure, they can hear stories from other woman that have given birth, but each pregnancy is a unique experience and different for every woman. But I'll be more than happy to share one of mine anyway. I was beyond scared of giving birth to my first born, so I'll skip right to my second. LOL As I knew what to expect I wasn't scared giving birth to him at all. I just wanted him out! LOL When I got to the hospital I was 9 centimeters dilated, but my water hadn't broken. My doctor decided to wait to see if it would break on it's own...over two hours. But that didn't happen so the doctor broke it for me and I gave birth to my son 4 minutes later. All in all I was in labor with him for about 6 hours. If you are concerned you should get a home pregnancy test. They're pretty accurate and inexpensive. I've used plenty of 'em in my time and they've never been wrong! Good luck!

It could be many things...Stress can also cause a period to be late I would just try not to worry and wait it out...

ive experienced this before.. i think its about 10-12 days.. i also thought i was already pregnant.. but then after 12 days i still get to have some ... im also not yet ready that time., but then i asked God's desire.. do what he want from me.. :) am not ready., but am ready to face anything that will go my way.. :)

Mines has done that as well. I was extremely stressed out and I went about tow months without one. I wasn't pregnant just stressed out it happens. Go to the doctor and get yourself checked out. That's the best advice you can get from anyone.

I think it is either you are pregnant or very stressed. My period has always been messed up. I didn't know i was pregnant with my oldest child until i thought i had the 30 day flu lol!! I think just to be on the safe side you should go to your doctor to find out for sure because it could be something seriouse!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
