61 days late for period and negative pregnancy tests?

Question

I'm currently 61 days late for my period. I've taken 4 or 5 tests now, and they are all negative. I'm on birth control me and my boyfriend and I are always careful.

I have an eating disorder, and yes, I know it affects my periods, but it hasn't been this bad in a while. And I think my doctor said I had irrelgar periods, but I can't remember now.

I know stress isn't helping, but I am worried now if there is something wrong again. My doctors are overbooked, and it's hard getting an appointment. Not to mention, my anxiety is awful. What to do, please?

It's understandable to be concerned and anxious about a missed period, especially if you've been experiencing irregular periods in the past. It's important to note that there can be many reasons for a missed period, including stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and other health conditions.

Since you're on birth control and have been careful with contraception, it's less likely that you're pregnant, but it's still possible. However, if you've taken multiple pregnancy tests that have all come back negative, it's less likely that pregnancy is the cause of your missed period.

Given your history of irregular periods and your eating disorder, it's possible that these factors are contributing to your missed period. Stress can also play a role, as it can disrupt hormonal balance and affect your menstrual cycle.

It's important to try to manage your stress levels as best as you can and to prioritize self-care, including proper nutrition and sleep. If you're concerned, you may want to try making an appointment with your doctor or a gynecologist to discuss your concerns and to get a physical exam. They may also want to perform some tests to rule out any underlying health conditions.

In the meantime, try to take care of yourself and focus on stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time outdoors. Keeping a journal to track your menstrual cycle and any symptoms or changes you experience can also be helpful for discussions with your healthcare provider.

i am not doctor but, if you were over 40 you would interpret early menopause so your worry indicated younger than 40. period late? alone doesn't seem dangerous nor bad just surprised i guess the pills and eating disorder caused it. if not pain be grateful you dont have period pain. if feel pain then that could be a problem interfering and need emergency room i would go e. r. and tell them about pain and let them decide to send ne home.

If you are pregnant and you are still taking birth control pills, that is not good for the baby.
Can you stop the pills for a while and see if you get your period? Taking female hormones while pregnant could be something you need to be concerned about.
Clear your system out of what the pill is doing (don't have unsafe sex, use condoms).
61 days is two months. Way too long to miss a period for no reason.

A female needs a certain about of body fat in order to have a period. Once the body drops down below periods will stop. It is absolutely not necessary to have a period unless you are actively breeding. I think you need to address your eating disorder.

If you are on birth control then thats why you aren't getting your period. It means the birth control is working. In the beginning state it can make you bleed a lot but after a while you shouldn't get any period for a surtain amount of time when you are on it

Hi giiirl! Don't worry too much.. 🥰 Just wait for your doctor and you might take some blood tests but that's fine. I see there's not much of a problem here, but your eating habits, sleep time, stress level can actually affect your hormones and period. You'll be okay soon.

Planned Parenthood could do a blood test for you. It's easy to book online and before anyone starts planned Parenthood offers all sorts of medical services not just abortion 🙄 anyway I find it's usually pretty easy to get in with planned Parenthood

I'd go to a doctor. If you have an eating disorder it's likely something to do with me. I'm not a doctor but the best thing to do is test your blood. You likely have other deficiencies from not eating properly. If your body is under so much stress it will eventually affect your periods.

loveslongnails · Answer

If your tests are consistently negative, stop worrying about a pregnancy. Stress can throw your body completely out of whack because it throws your mind out of whack as well. The more anxious you become, the more you prolong whatever is going on that's specific to you. I realize this sounds like a milk carton remedy, but you must relax and stop stressing yourself out. You have no idea what it's doing to your psyche, and in turn, to your body.

Go to a doctor

One of the reasons my wife is on birth control, is because it regulates her period. When she is off of it she gets one period every 3 to 6 months and they usually last a month or more. When she is on BC, she has one period a month that lasts 3 to 5 days.

We were never able to figure out why.

Did you have a blood test done to confirm you aren't pregnant?  Definitely book in and see your doctor

Your eating disorder might be impacting your cycle. Or, you might have a reproductive problem (i. e. PCOS or endometriosis). The best way to find out is going to the doctor. 😊

Advice from strangers on the internet for something so serious is a bad idea. Consult a doctor asap.

A cycle is every 28 days So you're 5 days late

LiamJHayden · Answer

Stress, ovarian cysts, even some types of birth control can do that.
