Ok so my period is late. My last period was July 16-22. I was on NuvaRing but there was some communication error between my doctor and pharmacist for my last prescription and I couldn't get it until 1 week after my ring was supposed to be put in. Therefore, I decided to just wait until my next cycle to put it back in instead of messing my cycle up. So I have not been on the ring since my last period, but I have also not had sex since 2 weeks before my last period (I have not had sex this cycle). But it is now past when my ring should have been taken out and I should have gotten my ring if I would have had my ring in this cycle. Because I worry so much I have also taken at home pregnancy tests, and both were negative.
I'm wondering if just the change in hormones could be causing my late period, along with a lot of stress. I am a full time student and am also a personal trainer and water aerobics instructor (16 hours of class and 21 hours of work a week) so I am constantly stressed out. I also have a low body fat percentage for a woman- about 13.7%, which has been a cause of period loss in the past, but my BF% was also lower then- about 10-11%.
Is there anyway I could be pregnant? Or is this just a consequence of stress, hormones, and low BF% combined? I just want to get this figured out because I know that the increased stress of worrying about this isn't helping at all.
I really appreciate any replies/opinions/suggestions!!
