Not pregnant but suddenly irregular periods?

[Anonymous]

So lately I've been getting irregular periods, being pregnant is out of the question so don't say take tests and that I might be pregnant because for sure I'm not, the last time I had sex was a few months ago but if I was pregnant I would of started to show signs by now, my belly is the same as ever, no food cravings, mood swings and I'm still getting my period. My usual cycle is 28 days and I bleed for 5 days, I've been keeping a log of when I have them, from the 09 January - 06 February I was 1 day late but I didn't have any sex prior to that period, then it went back to 28 days cycle, then from 29th April - 24th May it was only 26 days and I was 2 days early (around then is when I had sex but it was protected). Then it was normal 28 days again but this time it's irregular again, I was meant to start 17th July, which has just about passed, I was feeling the usual signs of it coming a few days before like depressed, emotional, everything getting to me and moody but suddenly I feel OK again but I've not started bleeding yet. What could be going on? do any other girls get irregular periods like this? it always used to be on time.

Its hormonal and normal. If you're ovulating a couple of days later than usual it will push back your periods. A few days here and there is not an issue. My cycles have always been off by days unless I'm on the pill. If I don't ovulate that month, it can be even longer between them. All that is hormonal.

When in doubt take a pg test if you COULD be pg, otherwise not a real concern.

I never know about ovulation and all that because I'm not planning to have kids any time soon, can't afford it plus not ready to. I hope there's nothing wrong, I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant though, I feel normal as ever and as I said it's been a few months since I done anything, would of started showing if I was and id be throwing up or eating more but I'm getting non of that, I feel hungry at the same times as ever and don't feel the need to eat any more than usual.

Can you get your period but not bleed during it and only feel the hormonal effects of it?

No, but if you didn't ovulate then you could be months before you get a period. I once went 3 months! Being irregular isn't a big deal until you want to have a baby, then the dr can give you drugs to help with that. Had you been on the pill before all this happened?

No was nevero and the pill

It's still not arrived I'm so worried :(

It really sounds like you didn't ovulate this month, therefore no period. If that's the case, then you could start tomorrow or in 2 months...just depends. PG tests are cheap. I'd get one to ease your mind, then just enjoy not having a period for a while!

Have you taken a home pg test?

No but wouldn't my tummy be bigger by now if it was April I had sex?, it's still the same shape as ever, I don't feel any hardness ether, I keep feeling like I want to be on it or I am on it but no bleeding.
