I was supposed to start the 24th or 25th, but I started today, the 30th... I've been under a lot of stress, could this be normal?? Or is this a problem? Can this be normal?

Please
I'm begging someone to leave a reply, I know people are looking at this, I just need someone to respond. I'm planning on taking a pregnancy test tomorrow, I just need someone to leave me some feedback.

Stress can cause your period to be late. You can test if you want to, but I doubt you are pregnant if you have a regular period.

Relax. Women's periods are seldom the same every month forever. They change. A lot of things can throw them off. If you started your period - even if it is late - you aren't pregnant.

Birth control pills are excellent at not only preventing pregnancy, but making your period as regular as clockwork. Planned parenthood provides birth control services for free or low cost, depending on your income.

It sounds like if you are under a lot of stress, you probably ovulated later than you usually do which would make your period start later. Is you period heaviness the same as it usually is? I read one of your other posts about how you had a miscarriage (soooo sorry) and that you feel happy and sad. I'm wondering if you should go to your drs to see if your hormones are out of wack. I have never had a misscarriage but i'd assume you would have some hormone changes going on afterwards. Even if that is not it, it might make you feel better to talk to someone about what you are going through and how you are feeling.

I bet you just ovulated late then, due to your stress. I did the same thing this month. I typically ovulate between the 14th-16th but this month was the 19th so if I didn't monitor it I might have though that I was pregnant or that something was wrong. I bet you are fine but as always, if you are worried, go ahead and get yourself checked out.
