Hello all, I always get my periods every 31 days. Last cycle my period was five days late and my period is two days late now. I have lost twenty pounds since Feb and was already small, do you think this is causing my irregularity?
I also had unprotected sex with no ejaculation and I am pretty sure I wasn't ovulating, what are the chances that my period is late because of pregnancy rather than my weight loss theory?

Date: 2007-05-16 01:21 am (UTC)You're correct. :) Take a look here (http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0922.html) if you're curious to know a bit more about why, but you've got the gist of it exactly right.
It doesn't sound to me as though you're at a high risk for pregnancy, but it is a possibility. Have you thought about taking an at-home pregnancy test? That might be a good way to find out for sure. PeeOnAStick.com (http://peeonastick.com/) has some great information and advice about at-home pregnancy tests that I've found really helpful myself.
I hope everything turns out okay for you. :)

Decidual bleeding can look very much like a light period, but it happens while one is pregnant. If it is Utterly Crucial that you find out about any pregnancy quickly, I would suggest taking a pregnancy test Just In Case. If it is less than utterly crucial, you can probably play the odds that minimal amounts of potential sperm (all the way down to possible 0) + probably not ovulating within 5 days = it's just the weight loss.

Date: 2007-05-16 01:45 am (UTC)Your late period is probably caused by stress & weight loss; that's all. I HIGHLY doubt you're pregnant. I'd wait a full week before I'd waste my time & money (even just a dollar) on a test!
