What Causes Delayed Period With Stomach Cramps,back Pain And Nausea?
Question: I have the paragard IUD for a few months now. My period did not come on 6/3. On 6/7 I felt very mild cramps and a little yucky that day. Today 6/28 I've had mild lower back pain and cramps but no period yet. I took a test when I was almost 14 days late. It was negative. I'm wondering if this is normal and at what point should I be worried? I called my OBGYN yesterday but I have not recieved a call back.
Brief Answer:
DO ONE BLOOD TEST FOR BETA-hCG.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
1) PARAGARD IUD is QUITE effective (more than 99%) in preventing unwanted pregnancy. However, I suggest you to undergo one blood test for beta-hCG to rule out late conception (if any).
2) Hormonal imbalance, mental stress, emotional upset, pelvic infection, irregular diet pattern, over weight, Poly Cystic Ovary, thyroid disturbance, high prolactin level etc can cause late period in this context.
Here, I suggest to undergo one pelvic ultrasound scan and complete hormone tests under the guidance of local GYNECOLOGIST. It will help to narrow down underlying causes and confirm the diagnosis.
3) You may require cyclic progesterone pill to induce and regularize monthly cycle. Other supportive treatment may be required according to lab test result. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your doctor.
4) You should take LOW carbohydrate diet, control body weight (great impact on late period), avoid mental stress by meditation or yoga, keep bowel habit regular, drink plenty of water and take sound sleep.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
