Thread: no period since April 22nd, REALLY NEED HELP

Take another HPT. Many things can alter your period. You said yourself that your periods usually last 7 days. I'd take that to mean... sometimes it lasts longer, sometimes shorter. Missing your period all together in may could be due to pregnancy... could be due to stress, you said you are hoping for a baby... and the lighter period in april may have gotten you excited enough to stress your body, trick your hormones into skipping your period, especially taking the tests etc.

Its weird how sometimes worrying about pregnancy, or anticipating it... can sometimes throw a period off. But its been almost a month that you've missed a period and there should be enough of the pregnancy hormone in your body to show up on hpt at this point, so do take one. If you still show negative, and still don't have a period see your doctor to take a blood test testing for pregnancy.

Have you had any other changes in your life? Stopping birth control recently? Gaining weight? Losing weight? Some change in medicine? Sleep? Stress? Exercise? Any number of things can throw your hormones off and delay a period while your body adjusts.

I haven't had any changes in my life recently. I've been off birth control for over a year so it couldn't be that. The only thing new that I have done was start taking pre-natals in the beginning of April, but I wouldn't think that would do anything.

If you're trying to have a baby, then there's always the chance you could be pregnant. Have you had a blood test?

No, I agree.... prenatal vitamins wouldn't throw off your hormones. Some women do not have a strong enough level of the pregnancy hormone for it to show positive in an early hpt like you took.... its been , I think close to a month since you've taken one so I'd definitely do that again. If its still showing negetive and no period, see a doctor for them to take another form of the test just in case you aren't secreting it in your urine in a strong enough volume for detection, a blood test is far more accurate.

i have not yet had a blood test done.
