What Causes Delay In Periods And Abdominal Bloating Despite Having Negative UPT?

Hi, about a week after my last period I got a mid cycle period unexpectedly. It last 4 day and ran a normal heavy to light pattern with enough cramps that I needed medicine 2 of the four days. Then when I was expecting my period to come, it never came. It still hasn t arrived. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and have ruled that out an an option. Lately my stomach has seemed to feel blown up, like a balloon, but not to a point that my clothes don t fit. I have had headaches the past few days, but I think that is due to dehydration. Everywhere I read ovarian cancer keeps popping up and it scares me. Any help?

Hi.
I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

You might be on the symptoms which appear before or during periods. Delay in periods can be due to overweight or low body weight, Stress (mostly), Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or
Thyroid problems or few other causes.

Not you should always think about ovarian cancer.
I advice you to 
1. Check your hemoglobin levels to rule out anemia
2. Thyroid function test.
3. Do YOGA & stress management
4. Nutritious diet rich in protein & iron
5. Exercise.
6. Consult a gynaecologist for further assistance if any.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
