What Causes Irregular And Light Menstruation?

I haven t gotten my period in 40 days and I m worried. Im 19 and am sexually active but we use condoms every time and they have never broken or had holes so I m pretty sure there s no way I can be pregnant. My past period was only like 3 days long and was also a little later than normal. Is there something wrong or am I just irregular?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As you are sexually active & haven't had a period for 40 days, you should get your self checked for pregnancy. Sometimes you could get pregnant through a intercourse with protection too. This occurs when you insert penis before ejaculation or even after ejaculation without condom or during condom break which you might not have noticed.

There could be other reasons that may be responsible for delayed periods as follow
1 Ovarian problem like poly cystic ovary disease (PCOS) could be the reason as you have history of irregular periods
2. Overexercising or excessive exercise schedule
3. excessive weight gain or weight loss
4. Hormonal disturbance
5. Excessive stress can cause delayed period too by upsetting normal hormonal imbalance

If problem persist, visit a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
