Am I Late?!! Could I Be Pg?!!
Posted: 01-30-06 14:33pm

Hi,

my parter and I have been trying for 4 months now. I havent posted in this forum before and could really do with your advice!

My periods can be irregular, latey my leutal phase is 23 days when 8 months ago it used to be 28days. I have been 'doing the deed' roughly in and arround the middle of my cycle and yesterday my af should have shown but it hasnt. I had some cramps this morning but no sign of her yet. Later this afternoon I was quite sick and am still feeling a little unwell. However, I dont want to take this as much of a sign as recently my sister and brother-in-law have been suffering from a stomach bug so I may have caught that.

I'm wondering if my period was actually due yesterday or whether I should wait untill it hasnt come by day 28? Its only in the past 7/8 months its been 23days between periods.

Does anyone else have irregular periods and if so how do you know when to test for sure?

Thanks

I have extremely irregular periods. In fact, it's not at all uncommon for me to skip a month at a time. I have always waited until about a month and a half have passed and then see how I feel before testing.

However, that being said, everyone is different. Take an hpt or, probably better, go to a doctor and get a blood test. I say go to the doctor because it's possible that you are both pregnant and sick with that stomach bug. If you are, then I would think you should get to a doctor asap so that you can be getting better.

Good luck! I'll cross my fingers for you. ;)
