Ok I am supposed to be on my period this week & I usually cramp a couple of days before and I never did but my lower back hurt really bad and I thought that I started on tues. Well, I started getting sick & on wed I ran fever and possibly had an upper respiratory infection and well, my period was gone. so really if that was my period it only lasted a day. I dont know if it stopped b/c I got sick or if I could be pregnant. Should I take a test or not worry about it?

Hello,


You period could have stopped because you were sick. An infection like that can strain the body. I would definately test.


I hope you get the answer you are looking for! Keep us posted.

Your period (usually) will not stop because of illness, it can be *late* because of illness (because your body may hold off on ovulating if you are sick at that time so throwing your up coming period off by a few days) but once your period starts its going to finish. Do you normally have short periods? I usually have week long periods so a 1 day period would be completely strange for me but if you normally only go 3-4 days a 1 day period might be something that could happen time to time for you? I really dont know but wanted to just let you know that your period would not stop because of illness. (If you are sick your body wants to make sure that old lining from your uterus is out so it can work on healing the rest of your body, its not going to hold onto the old lining to heal something else)
