Q: Causes of late menses

It's long...but I really appreciate the feedback!!


Today makes me officially 9 days late and I normally have very regular periods. And nope, not under any stress or anything to change my cycle. Didn't really consider that I was pregnant until I was 4 days late, so I wasn't at all worried to make me late in the first place.

Oh, I am 23.

Took a test at 4 days late and at 6 days late and one yesterday...all 3 are negative. After the first negative, we realized that we kinda did hope to be pregnant, hence why I care so much now.

I have frequent urination & breasts are only slightly tender on the side if I push in. I wanna say sometimes I feel a flicker in my tummy and some unusual cramps, but I really think that one is my mind playing tricks.

Thursday I started seeing some VERY light pale pink "discharge", if you will, when I wiped only a couple times, yesterday too. Not sure on this one, heard different things...

Last period stared June 17 and was 5 days long, it was a normal period. We had unprotected sex and he thinks he let some go before the withdrawal around the 27th-28th and then again around July 4th-6th, but that time we just let him go off and not pull out during one session. He currently lives out of town and those were 2 weekends we got to visit, so we were doing it a lot, sorry for the TMI.

Not TTC, not preventing. Whatever outcome is perfectly fine with us, so I am not worried either direction.

I have a son already. My 2 year old was SO easy to conceive (and I was 20 at the time), took ONE weekend to get pregnant! But I didn't notice any signs or symptoms other than pretty sore breast with him until after I was sure I was pregnant, because I wasn't even paying attention.

The Dr. wants me to be at least 2 weeks late before I go in for blood.

Any who, lots of conflicting info on the web, so what do y'all really think? Yeah yeah, wait for blood...but I want opinions NOW!! HAHA.

Anyone ever been in the same/similar boat?? Someone thinks that my hormones can't catch up enough to gather enough hcg to show up on my pee tests because I am peeing quite a bit.

Alot of pregnancy tests can detect HCG levels as low as 5. At 9 days late, and your levels building up constantly I would say it's unlikely (although not impossible) that your pregnant. It would be odd to not be able to get a positive on a test at this point.

Good luck at the blood test, i think that'll be your best bet on getting your answer.

Hey.
I just wanted to know what happened? I am going through the same things as you? I noticed that this was dated last year and want to know. My period is a week late, took a pregnancy test, nothing. I have been going the bathrrom a lot as well. Breast are tender when you press in like you, cramp, weird feelings in my tummy. I am 21 and a still worried. Did you need up being pregnant?

Please respond. I need to know.
Thanks.

really funny!
I went through the very same thing a week ago. I have always came n strange days, but always early so my last period was 13th of Feb. 2 weeks early.... Well I came on exactly the 13 of March, but this time it was spotted. I came on that night didn't do anything that morning, then that even I had chucks of dark blood coming down every now & then....that went on for about 4 days. Very strange because I'm only on for 2 days then everytime I wrip I see a little blood. I tested 2 time and it was neg. Could I have had a misscarriage and didnt know until now that I might have been pregant???
