So I was due for my period on June 15th. I took a clear blue digital test on June 18 that said "Not Pregnant". Well now its June 20th and still no period.

So I was due for my period on June 15th. I took a clear blue digital test on June 18 that said "Not Pregnant". Well now its June 20th and still no period. If any of you read my post earlier this week about weight loss, I did notice I gained 3 lbs even though I have been dieting and excersing. I have been have cramping on and off and I have had some nausea but I just chalked it up to something I ate.

I really don't think I'm preggo. I tested positive with both my kids the day of my missed period. I called my OB/GYN and they told me take another test in a week which will be June 25 and if it is still negative they want me to come in.

What do you ladies think may be going on? Is it possible its stress?

    Didn't you just start working out and changing your diet? A change in your eating regimen can mess with your period too.

    Oh yeah. One time mine was two weeks late! I drank a bunch of tequila, and there it came.

    Not that I'm saying drink a bunch of tequila....lol

    Yes, I've skipped a whole month before when I was very stressed/depressed. That's the only time it has ever happened to me so I was scared I was pregnant also.

    Definitely can be stress related. My period is usually like clockwork, but about 4 months before my wedding I was almost 3 weeks late and then it was late right before my wedding again (but thankfully I was finished they DAY before my wedding, so no unwelcome visitor during my wedding or honeymoon woo!). Obviously people telling you to relax isn't going to help so I won't tell you that LOL. Just try to stop thinking about it and it'll show up eventually ;-)

    Oh yeah stress is a bitch for periods. I have had it where it skipped the whole month. Lol right now we just use condoms so when Ebert I am over a week late I take a test just to make sure. My son my test was positive in nano second and I was about a week late.

    You say you have been dieting and exercising... is that new this month (or changed)? I started a new job April 28 & working out hardcore in early May and was 5 days late mid May (and I am super duper regular). I was freaking out too, but I think it was just a combo of new exercise routine and a new job.

    I just lost my virginity two days before my period should have started we used protection but when my period didn't come I started stressing out a lot 24/7. I'm about a week late and i'm having slight cramps my stomach hurts and I'm a little light headed, I can't figure it out because all the symptoms of menstruation are the same as pregnancy. Could it just be because I'm stressing out to much? Please leave some information!!
