Hey,

My last period started on the 14th of November and lasted about 5 days, it's now the 29th of December and I'm starting to wonder whats going on. My monthly cycle is usually kind of unpredictable so the past few months I've been counting the days and its usually about 36 days but now its been 45 days and still no period? Also last week I had symptoms of my period like a bit of cramping so I thought I was going to get it but I didn't? And also the past few days I've been feeling more tired then usual and feeling a bit sick a few times but not always in the morning? Could I be pregnant or is it too soon to tell?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
The symptoms that you describe could be few of the early symptoms suggestive of pregnancy, especially if you have been sexually active without protection after your last normal periods. If pregnancy is suspected, you should consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist for thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately). If pregnancy gets ruled out, further evaluation would be needed to look for underlying cause for your absent periods. Treatment as indicated (based on examination findings and investigations results) would be started to help you get your periods and regulate them.
Take care.
