Hi everyone. I am new to this board, but I am very puzzled and would really like some input.
I was due for a period on 9/9, but it still has not come. I took a home pregnancy test yesterday (Thursday 9/18). The result was negative. Being nine days late, I would expect a positive to show up if I was, in fact, pregnant. So I am assuming that I am not.
I have never been this late before. The latest I have ever been is one or two days. What, besides pregnancy, could be causing me to be so late? I am not that stressed, haven't changed my diet/exercise, haven't been taking any meds, and I am not on birth control. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for me? Thanks in advance!

There are many reasons as to why one might miss a period. A pregnancy test probably would have shown up by now. But, stranger things have happened! My suggestion is to contact your doctor.
I'm including a link that gives some explanation as to why this may be happening. But, only your doctor will know for sure.

Please ask if you have any other concerns!

Girl dont stress it- Im sure everything is ok with you. I will pass on some info my Gyno told me. No one stays the same forever, in MOST females life there comes a time when her regular period is not so regular anymore--its not a problem unless you are trying to have a baby. All my life my period was regular and on time--I had my daughter (almost) 2 yrs ago and even after she was born my period was regular.....just a few of months ago the same thing happened to me. My Gyno advised for whatever reasons I was not ovulating therefore skipping a period. Im sure your fine, but to confirm you should check w/your Gyno.
