So, where is my period?? (NOT BT)

I have sometimes had a late period, but only normally a week or so late. Never two weeks late.

Maybe too personal,do you take any contraception with hormones in?

Hmmm. Not sure; your body can do weird things when you're ill. I'd leave it a couple of days! I find that mine go a bit wonky when I've been on a particulary long run or something, so maybe dehydration has something to do with it?

I SO know what you mean about the preggers thing. I just have to get a sniffle these days and my mum is all "Oooh, you're not PREGNANT, are you?" (desperateforagrandkidmuch?)

Although...my doctor always asks me if I'm pregnant and I always say 100% no, no way, no chance, but he always says that- unless you're just not having sex, ever- there's always a 1% chance....THAT'S REASSURING THEN DOC, THANKS.

Menopause?? (runs away to hide)

Pipe Down!

Nope - when I say 100% cannot be PG I mean it!

This was what I was going to say, unless, of course, there is a medical reason behind your 100%.

I'm no real help as I've never had anything even close to a regular period. I know anorexia and things can stop periods, but i wouldn't have thought a week or two of D&V would be enough to effect them. You stressed? Stress can make things a bit hay wire.

If I was 100% confident that I couldn't be pregnant, and I'd been a bit sicky, I'd wait and see until the next one is due.

In the meantime, I'd be helping things along. Hot baths, rough sex, lots of gin, straining poos.

The last time I had a smear test, it moved my menstrual cycle by about 2 weeks. Anyone been fiddling down there recently?

I have had a quick Google (as you do) and found out that I am 0.4% at risk of being PG. So I stand Corrected: I am 99.6% sure I am not PG!

I don't really get stressed, but I've been quite busy/had a lot on my mind so I expect I may be and I don't realise it. I get stress-related Eczema, which occurs even though I feel ok, and I've got it at the moment, so inwardly there must be something. So the stress factor could be it, although they've not been altered in the past because of this.

What the hell sort of activity makes 0.4%?

I don't know how to multi quote:

Yes - this is the plan. The 0.4% risk doesn't bother me!

I thought that was how you brought on childbirth?!?

Nope, no fiddling. Chance would be a fine thing.....

Same process - cervical/uterine contraction.

Then highlight the next bit of text you want to reply to, then press "quote".

Or do you mean multiquote across different posters?

? Doing it in the sea, with your clothes on.....

Haha not really, he's had a vasectomy.

Nope, just you

Much the same thing......!

I revise my earlier plan of action. Do a pregnancy test.

Can't do any harm to test, ATB.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I have no idea on cycles as I'm still waiting for my first natural period in 14 years after coming off the pill 94 days ago

It was 15 odd years ago, it has been our only method of contraception for 7 years, surely if it had 'grown back' I'd have fallen pregnant by now. I really don't want to have to test, seems a joke!

I think it wouldn't hurt ATB. If you're normally regular then it would at least rule it out ?

It's unlikely, but possible.

I suspect if you mention the disappearance to a GP the first thing they will ask you is if you've taken a test. Not that a GP would give 2 hoots about a period that was 2 weeks late no matter how regular you are.

Kharvo - When I came off the pill last time I was period free for 56 days & starting to get concerned - mentioned it to the GP (whilst there for something else) & he said he didn't want to know until I'd been pill & period free for a year!

Voice of Doom.... The only time EVER my periods went off course was when I was approaching the menopause. And it happened at a much younger age than I was expecting.

Apart from when I was pregnant, of course.

I know, Reb! Ridiculous! I'm going to go after 6 months though. Hoping my prolactinoma might get me some special treatment

Ok so far Otters you've come up with:

Pregnancy
Stress
Menopause

Thanks for that guys!

Aren't tests about £10!?! Seems a waste of money, but I know I'm tight. I'm seeing my friend tomorrow who is PG, and was a bit obsessive about testing before she fell, so I bet she'll have one kicking about she can bring me.

i've seen them in Poundland recently. (Other cheap possibly dodgy=test selling shops are available)

You can get cheapies from Poundland and the likes. If you're 2 weeks late it would show up on any test.

My friend has thrown into the mix a weird reason - says it could be something to do with hormones released because I've got a new pup but my body thinks I've actually got a baby??? ? Surely that's outrageous!

Anyway, she's bringing me a test tomorrow.

Sorry that this has tuned into to BT discussion. Will update tomorrow.

Pee on the stick!!!!

ATB you are killing us here.. we have to wait for the ring flash AND to find out whether you are up-duffed!? I can't take any more waiting!

I'm sorry, stuff is never easy is it!? Don't worry I won't be upduffed!

a 0.4% chance says you could be lol

What a nightmare ATB! A few days to a week I would put down to it just being one of those things, stress, illness but 2 weeks is alot and with you being so regular? Erm I think you're friend is bonkers in the nicest possible way. I don't recall being late when we got Ray ha! Anyway I am sure it isn't anything to worry about but if it were me I would probably make an apointment with my GP just to get a bit of advice, I know that they say you should get abnormalities with your periods checked out. I hope AF arrives soon lovely.

What's AF? Is it a slightly more polite way of saying 'rag week'?
