What Causes Delayed Menstruation?

default
Posted on Fri, 18 Mar 2016
Question: Hi I am currently trying to get pregnant. I am currently on Day 45 with no period.
My cycles go like this:
SEPTEMBER 2015
4th September – 8th September (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 11th August – 3rd September = 24 days


SEPTEMBER 2015
30th September – 4th October (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 4th September – 29th September = 26 days

OCTOBER 2015
23rd October – 27th October (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 30th September – 22nd October = 24 days

NOVEMBER 2015
25th November – 29th November (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 23rd October – 24th November = 32 days

DECEMBER 2015
21st December – 25th December (5 days bleeding)
Cycle 25th November – 24th December = 29 days

Pregnancy tests are negative even though I am on day 45 do you still see chances that I could be pregnant please or should I rule this out? On Day 26 of this current cycle I did get positive ovulation tests and I have still not come on. If I am not pregnant what on earth is wrong? I am so worried what's wrong if it isn't pregnancy.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Brief Answer:
Hormonal Variation Possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Good to see you back.

Delayed periods could be pregnancy though pregnancy tests are positive.

The chances of pregnancy cannot be ruled out till you get periods.

If there is no pregnancy, the only possibility of delayed periods is possible hormonal variation which is normal to happen once in a while.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
