When is menstrual period late ? Posted: 03-30-08 19:53pm
okay. so i am not sure if i should
consider my period late or not. last month
(February) i got my period on the 29th.
that is the day it usually comes. so now
this month it didnt come on the 29th.
should i consider my period late or not?
since february was such a short month.
does it matter. or am i late? im so
confused... get back to me as soon as
possible. thanks.

No. You're counting wrong... your period
does not come on the days of the month.
Many months have a different number of
days than other months. Do you really
think your cycle is 31 days long one month
and 28 the next, just because the calendar
says so?
I definitely wouldn't consider your period
late. Give up to a week of wiggle time
around your due date.
Go back and count how many days it has been
since your last period. That's
how you count. Go back further if you have
good dates, but if you don't, start
keeping a log now.
The day of the month is completely
irrelevant. My cycles are on average 35-40
days long - I never get one on the same
day of the month!
