I was involved in a head on collision on July 29th, right around the time I was suppose to have my period. Now its mid August and still NO period. I have taken 5 urine pregnancy test all negative results including one at the doctors office.I know for a fact my body was in shock right after the accident because I couldn't stop shaking in the ambulance and at the hospital that night. Since the accident I have had surgery done for my foot and been seeing a Chiropractor for help along with dealing with a lawyer with my claims. Ive been out of work for over a month now, and cant get around without crutches and I am on medication too. I am assuming its all stress related but really just want my body to be back to the normal cylce! Could I be pregnant still? If not, what can I do to get my body back into its normal cycle? At this point it just seems that until I'm completely healed and back in my normal daily routine, my body wont menstruate? Any suggestion appreciated, Thanks!

  1. Yes, that is completely normal. I've heard it before, and no I do not believe you are pregnant. With cases like that it is actually very common to miss a cycle. Hope this helps!!


  2. Any kind of stress can cause your cycle to skip a beat. With me it is usually the opposite, I get my period. Were the pregnancy tests all urine tests? It may have been too early to tell. A blood test from your doctor will reveal the truth. Other than that your cycle should pick back up soon.

  3. i really  don`t think you are pregnant , the fact that you are missing your period it can be strongly related to the accident because traumatic things can influence in the period.

    my advice it to try and relax, and forget about the accident  i`m sure you will become regular soon.

  4. Yeah Stress is certainly a cause of missed periods.  In time youèll stop stressing or worring.. but if your concerned take a test. this may also help you calm your nerves a bit. knowing for sure if your pregnant or not.
