Concerned about late menstrual cycle and fear of possible pregnancy.

It’s okay :) I’ve been there several times… lol Periods are often late because of stress. Or if you’ve been eating less or sleeping less….everything affects hormones and when it’s time for your period to start. Try to relax and it’ll come.

I hope this makes you feel better, but it’s literally impossible for you to become pregnant if you’ve never had sex. My period goes through ebbs and flows of being regular then not. A lot of things can affect when you get it, especially if you’re not on birth control. Sometimes I’ll have my period after 25-28 days. Sometimes it’s closer to 35 or more days. You are okay! And if you feel something is truly wrong contact an OBGYN.

Not alone on this one at all. I finally just got my cycle after 4 whole months of not having it. I was starting to get scared and literally wished upon it everytime it was 11:11. From what i read online irregular cycles could be linked to stress and daily diets. Now i know that i have been stressed and like you said above i dont really feel it but i know that i am. And my daily diet is not that good. I am overweight as well. So i kept telling myself in my head that it’s not coming because my hormones are probably unbalanced from being overweight and stressed. I kept telling myself that this is the reason why it’s not coming and after the first of the year if it’s still not here i would go to the doctors. And i finally started my cycle 4 days ago thank god. But what you said about fear of being pregnant. I totally felt that and I’m a virgin as well. I was in such panic that some inhuman thing happened where i got pregnant for no reason. And my body went to the extreme of giving me lower abdominal pain, bloating, and even stomach flutters. Like my stomach felt so weird that I’m my head i was like what if I’m pregnant. I hope this helps you in some way in knowing that you are so not alone! I hope you can get some relief soon!

I have had this happen before also. I didn’t get it for a whole month after I had COVID. I’m on birth control and my husband and I only are able to see each other once a month because of changing jobs so it’s very unlikely but OCD still loves the what ifs.

This is one of my reoccurring obsessions. Every month. I have an IUD, use condoms, but I even had to have a doctor tell me “you are not pregnant” and i still didn’t believe it. I’m working through it still, so don’t have a ton of advice except that I know how you feel and it’s terrifying. It eats you up inside. Something that’s helped me is saying “maybe”. It pisses the OCD off sooo much. But that’s hard, and sometimes all you can do is cry or lay down. Take care of yourself, this is temporary.
