Thread: Irregular/Missed Periods

My period has always been like clockwork. Last month my period was almost 2 weeks late and I had severe cramping. Again this month it's two weeks passed my period date and still no period. I've been having cramps off and on for 3 weeks now. I've taken an at home pregnancy test and the results were negative. December last year I thought I was pregnant, so I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Shortly thereafter I had my period. Well the next month my period was late so I took another pregnancy test and it was positive. I went to the doctor and I was 2 1/2 months pregnant. I was going through a really rough time (no house, no car, etc.) so I decided it was best to have an abortion, which I deeply regret. Since I was going through a lot, I never made it to my follow up appointment. Needless to say, I have a lot of worries. Last time I was pregnant, the test came out negative and I had a period; so it's possible I could be pregnant again. But if I'm not pregnant, there could be some serious things wrong. I am under a lot of stress and I know that this could be a cause of irregular periods. But this could, especially since I never went to my follow up appointment (yes, stupid me), be something more serious. I don't have the money to go to a doctor, especially if it's just stress or a change in my cycle, but if it's something serious I don't want to wait too long and risk having long term effects. I would really like some advice from anyone who might have some insight as to what is going on with my body. I know this is a long message, but I really need some help. Thanks!

It would be very difficult for someone to have an idea of what's going on. periods are funny things, they come when they want and end when they want, unless you are on a good pill that suits your body. i know that stress can impact on the body in a big way, even if you dont feel stressed you can still be stressed and i know a friend whose cycle went a bit haywire due to this but is now back to normal. i know its easier said than done (honestly i know) but try not to worry about it, if you think about it try and quickly think of something else and keep busy but not stressed busy lol. i hope it all works out for you
