my period is 4 days late as of now. my periods tend to land on the 25th of every month, never deviating more than a day or two. it is now 4, going on 5 days late. my vagina is swollen and i have very minor cramps, barely noticeable. my boyfriend and i have protected sex (we use male condoms). we haven't had any slip ups, but just incase, i have taken 2 pregnancy tests, one on the day my period was due, and one tonight and they've each turned out negative. i don't know what's wrong with me or why my period is so late. i feel as though it wants to come because of the swollen feeling i have down there, but it just isn't coming. please help me ]:
You need to relax a little bit, there is nothing wrong with you. There really isn’t a woman who had every period exactly on time every month, your body is not a clock mechanism. Besides the obvious reason, pregnancy, period is most commonly late because of stress. Stress doesn’t just mean that you get annoyed by some situation that happened once-twice, for your body and its hormonal cycles, stress includes everything from a few sleepless nights to serious weight change. Every new situation, change in usual habits, strange new events – they all can have larger effect than you think. Even you worrying about your period, with or without “help” from PMS (and you seem to have symptoms of, at least, incoming period) can be stressful and delay your period even more.
