My period is late help me???

Question

im 14 and have had my period since i was in grade 6. I am always regular i have never missed my period before and now it is a few days late. I have never had s*x. I don't know why it's late? I have lost 23 pounds over the summer though so do you think my weight lose could be the problem. please help. i am worried.

Answer 1

Well, it sounds like your periods have always been regular so I am not going to say "Oh, you're young, they'll get on track."  Since you can't be pregnant than the only other thing is stress or weight loss. Since you did lose that much weight that fast, it could definitely slow your period down, along with stress. But I wouldn't worry too much. If the problem persists, you can get on birth control to regulate your cycles again.

Goodluck

Answer 2

GO SEE A DOCTOR!

Answer 3

Any flux in weight could cause your period to be late or set off course.  Stress will do the same.  You haven't been having your period all that long so expect some odd patterns every now and then.  If this persists for a while I would see a Dr. to check everything out and make sure all is okay (they would rule out cysts, tumors, etc.).

Answer 4

It's totally ok to have ur period late, they are usually 28 to 40 days apart. My mom said that the longest she went w/o her period was a WHOLE YEAR! The longest i've gone w/o one is 3 months, so it varries

Answer 5

A few days isnt a problem. sometimes your period comes at random times. but if it starts to be more than a week, talk to ur mom or a doc.

Answer 6

do you dance because i heard if you dance a lot(like dance classes) you can miss it

Answer 7

Calm down, it is perfectly normal for some girls, especially skinny girls to miss their periods.  

Answer 8

Yes, weight loss and sudden changes in diet can affect your menstrual cycle.  Discuss this with your mom and ask her to take you to a gynecologist.  It may be a simple hormone imbalance.  Nothing to be scared or worried about.  

Answer 9

1. Talk to your mom.

2. Talk to a doctor

Answer 10

If you have a change in diet or exercise, like a sudden increase in exercise, it can cause your period to be late. Working out takes a lot of energy, so sometimes your body will shut down some functions in order to keep up.  

Answer 11

it might be because of the wait loss, u might be lacking some nutrients or maybe u might be under some stress

Answer 12

yes it is because of your weight loss .
