4 Reasons Your PERIOD Is Late/Delayed ( If You Are Not Pregnant)

Periods tend to be irregular when you first start having them and also when headed towards menopause.

Know that it is possible to experience a late period, and not be pregnant. Missed or late periods happen for many reasons other than pregnancy.

Having the occasional irregular cycle can be due to various factors like those listed in the video.

Other possible reasons could be hormonal contraceptives, medication, eating disorders, breastfeeding and chronic medical conditions.

It is important to contact your healthcare provider if your periods start to seem irregular, or you’ve missed your period but know you’re not pregnant.

Another reason: because your period is being an asshat and knows you have a big event coming up that you’re excited for and wants to be here for it

I’m a 43 yr old female, I had my 2nd IUD (Mirena) for about 8 yrs when it was removed in October 2022. I bled for a week. I didn’t have another period until January 2023. Bled heavily for almost 2 weeks. My period stopped altogether for over a year. Out of the blue, I got my period today. No spotting, no warning. Straight up red flow…however it is VERY light.

Mine is late for 22 days already
I'm not pregnant nor showing sign for it
😩💔 It's frustrating

When u have Gotten ur period for the first time, it can happen that it comes late because ur body has to get used to it. So it can be 1-5 Weeks late or 5 months. Its normal and can happen to everyone. Even if u have Gotten ur period for the 6th Time, it might can take one whole year for ur body to get used to it. Every body is different tho, so dont say: "I nEvEr ExPeRiEnCeD tHaT, uR lYiNg."

Does Soy affect menstrual cycles? My friend says that cutting soy product from her diet has helped her period pains, is that possible? She said same with cutting red meat like beef out her diet. Thank you!
