Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi my period is up to 6 weeks late Im actually not sure when my last period was I know I had one in january but dont know after that,Ive done a few pragnancy tests and they are all negative,Im very tired the past week and constipated abit longer although Im urinating alot,and Im not stressed,what else could cause my period to be late?
Dear Collette: Hello, I am aware of your concern about your menses. Since you have a history of 6 week cycles but you don’t remember your last period and also took a pregnancy test which was negative on two occasions. In my opinion you should wait a few more days and if you think that you might be pregnant, take a pregnancy test again but this time try to use the first urine of the day this would carry the hormone that the test is looking for in an increased amount, Give the test some time to work, a few minutes will be enough.
If the result is negative again, I will suggest you to consult a Gynecologist to rule out other possibilities such as hormonal imbalance, stress, weight loss, current medication or others that could have caused your menstrual irregularities. |
