*sigh* I'd JUST gotten a regular cycle for the first time in my life (3 moths predicably, woohoo!) when I left on vacation backpacking europe.
Now, i'm back to waiting for my damn period again, which is now a few weeks late.
No crazy sex happened on the trip as I have a bf waiting back at home, so I know I'm not pregnant. I know stress and lifestyle changes can mess up your periods schedule (and carrying a 20-40lb backpack for 3 weeks while you walk and party nonstop with little sleep while only attempting to eat healthy is definitely a big change), I'm just curious how many other people had this happen to them!
(Also, getting your period the day you leave and having to sit on a 6+ hours plane ride overseas REALLY sucks when a HUGE guy with bad manners promptly falls asleep and blocks your way to the bathroom until you can prod him awake. :\ )
