I am a 26 year old sickle cell patient. My fiancé and I have been using the pull out method for 2 years. On March 29 I ovulate and he pulled out, we had sex several times after that and all times he pulled out.

I am now 4 days late (my period is never late ever ). I am EXTREMLY sleeply all the time I have only been out of bed for 4 hours in the past 24 hours. Other than some very light on and off again cramps I have no pms symptoms and other than being tired, a lil nauseated and flu like symptoms including a low grade fever I have no pregnancy symptoms.

About a week after I ovulated I started to get really bad cramps so bad o had to take an Epsom salt bath. I also got really bad acne breakout on my forehead.

I went to the to the doctor today and she did a iron test and determined that I am not pregnant. After examining my stomach and finding that I had some discomfort in the upper right hand corner she concluded that it was my gallbladder. She ordered blood work to check the functioning of my gallbladder, pancreas, Liver etc but no pregnancy test....a she said she is not worried about my period being late because the lateness can be due to the gallbladder..

Now being a sickle cell patient I have had 2 gallbladder attacks in the past and this feels nothing like them. I don't have a heart time eating anything I'm not in pain and I'm not vomitting. I eat extremely healthy and other than occasionally salmon and a daily slice of avocado my fat intake is low. Besides with all the sickle cell complications I've had I have NEVER missed a period.

Can my gallbladder really cause my missed period?
