Delayed Period: Causes, Symptoms & What to Do


Question
Hi! I have a question, me period was due around the 26/27 July, however it has yet to begin. I have had sex during this period but always with a condom, however, there was some intercourse before the the condom was put on. I have never missed a period before (apart from when I was pregnant before!.

I have taken a home pregnancy test two days ago, which read negative. I understand that stress does potentially delay periods, but I don't feel anymore stressed than normal!! I also know that weight gain can stop periods, in fact I have gained 70lbs in the last 12 months, could this therefore be the reason - does this therefore mean that I can no longer have children?!

Answer
use a first morning urine again for preg test and then you will know you aren't pregnant.  you never know when you are definitely not able to have children unless you have had a hysterectomy... I have seen a lot of "miracles."   but the first morning urine is most likely to show a true positive....
