Ladies question

[smilie]

My period is about 10 days late and I'm never late. Recently I've been a little early. I've taken 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative. I've never in my life skipped a period. What do you think it could be? I thought if I was pregnant it would have shown up positive by now.

Are you on the pill?

A few months ago my period just stopped even though I was taking the week off with the placebo pills. I took pregnancy tests each time and were negative. WHen I went to the OB she said it's because I was on such a low dose (Allesse) bcp for such a long time (like 5 years). She switched me to a slightly higher pill, and my 'friend' is back with a vengeance unfortunately.

Have you been excersising a lot? I am a yo-yo excerciser - I alternate between not excercising at all and excercising about and hour to an hour and a half a day. If I am on an excercise binge and am not on the pill, my period will stop until I cut back.

I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for years. I'm thinking that my hormones might just be acting crazy because my face has started to break out pretty bad for the past week or so.

Unfortunately, no.

It definitely sounds like a hormonal issue. How old are you? Wacky things can start happening in your 30s. Your face breaking out is a big clue to hormones.

Are you stressed at all? Have you gained any weight recently?

I'm 27. I haven't really had anything big to stress over. Although lately I get ticked off by the littlest thing, again I'm gonna blame the hormones.

Sounds like you might just need a change in BCPs.

You are way too young to be experiencing perimenopause, although it is not unheard of. But, even if that were the case, the BCPs would mask that. So it sounds like the pills are not working right with your own body now. Maybe you just should let your doctor know at your next visit and make a change.

When I was pregnant with my first, I took many tests before it showed positive. I took one at 10 days late and it still showed negative, but at 14 days it was positive. If you haven't started in a few days, take another and see. Call the doctor if you can't wait and maybe he/she will have an answer. Good luck!

It could be your thyroid.
