ANSWER: Hi Keisha
         It appears your question wasn't emailed to me & I have only discovered it upon a reminder, so I do apologise for the wait.

What you are experiencing are classic hormonal symptoms. It could be that you are due to have a period or that you are pregnant. If you have not started your period within the next week or so then try a home pregnancy test. If it is positive then you need to see your doctor so they can run some tests to confirm this - this is because hCG (the pregnancy hormone) can stay in your system for up to 8wks.
If it is negative then it needs to be investigated further to rule out any problems or illness, so a trip to the doctor would be a good idea.

I hope this has helped.
Kindest Regards

Answer
Hi Keisha
         I hope you got on ok with your doctor. It is normal for your periods to take a while to come back, 8wks is the average time for this although it can take a little longer.

I hope you're doing well & have found the answers you sought at your appointment. If there's anything else I can help with then please do come back.

Kindest Regards
