8 Day Late Period.....

I probably don't belong in a pregnancy forum, but I just want to toss in my two cents.

When a woman stresses about absolutely anything (which is sometimes stressing about whether or not she is pregnant), that feeling of "butterflies" in the stomach will release excess hormones into the woman's body that will mess with her reproductive hormones. This can do all sorts of things to her cycle, such as making it come late or making it lighter.

As far as diet...Well, if you are dieting, that can sometimes have an effect on your cycle. This happens because your body goes through a moderate change from what it recognizes as being normal. Or, if a woman suddenly begins to starve herself and does so for long periods of time, this can make her skip a cycle.

Of course, sometimes your body will just decide to be eccentric and you might miss a period for no reason. Our bodies are so freaking tempermental that it's sickening. Hope this helps a little bit.

Thanx a hell of a lot!

Hey thats all the information I was looking for and I said thanx and I ment it

O lol okay..Well I thought you were being sarcastic..Like you were saying thanks for nothing health forum! Lol sry, about that =)

While diet can screw your cycle... It usually doesn't happen until your bmi is less than 17.5 or you are less than 11% body fat (though it can, it is just not common).

So if you are not dangerousely thin, it is most likely stress or pregnancy.
