Reasons for missing a period

[venus-orbiting.livejournal.com]

Are there any other reasons besides pregnancy for missing a period entirely? My period was supposed to come last week, and didn't. I took a pregnancy test a few days ago, and it came out negative. I'm not sure what to make of this. I spotted a bit the week before my placebo week, if that means anything, especially considering I almost never spot.

there have been so many posts on this lately. you should really look at some of the entries over the last week or two.

sometimes if your body is under a lot of stress either phisically or emotionally it can cause your period to do weird things.

You can miss a period for a LOT of reasons: Sickness, drugs, poor diet, change in sleep/eating patterns, stress, disease, cancer, pregnancy.

In other words, a LOT of things. It's hard to narrow down sometimes, but odds are, if it's not likely it's pregnancy, it's probably just stress/diet or whatever, and will fix itself out.
