What Causes Stoppage In Periods?

Amenorrhea Hi. I am 23 years old,160cm and 48 kg. My last menstrual period was on 24th january and i have always been very regular with my periods. My periods usually last for 4-5 days with a 32 day cycle. This months i had sex around 5 th february. My projected period date is 24th feb but its already past 3 days the projected date. I still havent got my periods. Am having breast tenderness and all the PMS symptoms but am still scared i could be pregnant because i had sex on the 5th that is the first day of the fertikle period. I even did a pregnancy test which turned out to be negative. I am scared because i always have had regular periods.

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
If you have a regular 32 days menstrual cycle.. your estimated ovulation day was( 14 days prior to menstrual date.. which would be 26thof FEB. ) 10th of February.. That makes your fertile days from7th to 13th feb. ( 3 days before & 2 days after the ovulation.) as sperms can survive for 3 days after ejaculation & ovum can be viable for at the most 36 hours after ovulation.)
From this science.. you don't have pregnancy chance with sex on %th of Feb. But if you have period ranging from 30-32 days..then yes, you do have a chance of pregnancy.
Pregnancy confirmation can be by-
- blood HCG testing around expected day of menses
- Home ( urine ) pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods.
- USG scan..after 5 weeks pregnancy.
Delay/ stoppage of periods can be due to Pregnancy/ anxiety, stress/ physical stress, illness/ hormonal imbalance.
Thanks.
