Question

AF Late which is not normal for me. Could it be from being sick?

AF was due yesterday, still hasn't come. Cycle average is 25 days. Tried every other day during most fertile time frame, which was determined by calendar method. Don't have a thermometer to try BBT charting yet. Been sick with upper respiratory all month. Been on antibiotics, steroids, cough medicine with codeine, Hydrocodone pain pills for other pain issues that I quit taking recently, also been on allergy and asthma medications. AF is always on time, only a day or two late once or twice per year, if that. Negative Dollar General retest last night after AF didn't arrive. More emotional and moody this month than normal, craving fruit all the time, even fruits I never eat, constant hunger, bloated, no signs or symptoms on AF coming, major backaches, frequent urination. Very confused! Could this all be due to medications from being sick just making AF late? Really hoped for a positive test result!

Yes being sick and stressed out can make your period late. It is not impossible that you are pregnant though so you need to hang in there. Once you are 7 days late go and see a doctor for a blood test and tell them how late your period is

I am having about the same issue only i'm not sick... AF is a day or so late and i am having a major tiredness issue also, slight sharp pains in my left ovary just started today, Peeing a lot, major nausea, underarms hurt, headaches, and that's all I can think of for now but I have had other symptoms. I am irregular with PCOS but usually AF is 24-30 with my average normal cycle being about 25 days. I haven't started and I am pretty frustrated as I got BFN on 14 and 16 dpo... No signs of her and have a doc's appt. on monday. Hopefully I'll get some answers. I suggest asking for a blood, that's what i'm going to do. GL! Think Positive! (:
