Hi, I m a girl,I m 18.. And I m feeling really stressed out about my period..I usually have a 28-32 days cycles,and I ve been regular for a long time,but for the last 3 months my cycles are getting longer and longer,first I had a 39 days cycle,then 43 days,and now I m on day 46 of my cycle and still didn t get my period! Is there anything wrong with me?what might be the causes? I m just worried because I m always regular and I don t know what went wrong, Ps, I didn t change my diet nor I am under any kind of medication ,and I don t have a medical history etc

hey there.i read your query and understand your concern

Firstly,please understand delayed periods occur in case of many healthy females and in most cases,the causes leading up to it will be trivial,so try to relax

sice your history suggests no diet change/medical history /drug intake history many causes can be ruled out

most common causes causing irregularities are either one/sometimes a combination of factors like stress,poor dietary habits,low body weight with or without over-exercise,thyroid disorders,other hormonal conditions called polycystic ovarian syndrome,small benign pituitary tumour and so on.

i would recommend you to relax and cut down stress(which is the culprit in case of most young women along with thyroid disorders),
do the thyroid function test to check for the levels,
check hormones levels like prolactin,FSH,LH etc
,do ultrasound abdomen to rule out PCOS,
and maintain healthy weight and diet

in most cases,emotional events and stress along with thyroid disorders cause this and all this ccan be easily taken care of.

so relax,&hope i have clarified.
follow up if needed.good day
