Missed Period, Is Stress a Factor? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I am about 10 days late for my period, negative pregnancy test taken 5 days ago. Dull pain in my left ovary area that gets worse if i suck my stomach in. In early nov. i was given a cortisone shot, put on predisone for 6 days, and took a z-pack to treat mono and strep. I am very stressed over school work and finals. Should i be worried? What do you think is wrong? Dear Taylor: The test for pregnancy is best done two weeks after the sexual act. You should do the test in the morning. It is also probable that your delayed periods is due to excessive stress. If your pregnancy test is negative, I would suggest you to wait and watch and consult your doctor when you have not had periods for 2 months or more. |
