cramps but no period?

Usually a day or two before I get my period, I get really light cramps and a sort of weak feeling in my stomach and knees. Also, my period is usually freakishly regular.

I've had these cramps and that feeling for over a week now (my period was due about 10 days ago), and yet my period won't come. I'm not sexually active, this is the first time it's ever been irregular, and it's the first time I've gotten my premenstrual symptoms so long before seeing my period. I'm not really worried much, but I just wanted to check if this was normal. Insight please?

Thanks. :]

Are you stressed? Have you changed your diet or started a new kind of birth control pill?

I agree with the above poster. Your period could be delayed for a variety of reasons like stress, diet changes, illness, or an increase in exercise. Since you are not at risk for pregnancy, see a doctor if you do not menstruate in three months. But of course, make an appointment sooner if it will put your mind at ease!

i think its normal, due to hormones(sp) changes or maybe due to stress. i remembered when im late for the 1st time, i get real panick. just relax and everything will be alright =)

one point, as far as the stressed goes, your period should come about 14-16 days after you ovulate, and it's ovulation that might have been delayed by stress, not the actual coming of your period, so look back about 15 days ago and try to remember if you were really stressed out then.
