6 raisons pour lesquelles vos règles pourraient être en retard, en plus de la grossesse
Que vous ayez vos règles tous les 28 jours comme sur des roulettes ou que votre flux préfère aller et venir à sa guise, le fait que vos règles disparaissent est souvent source d'inquiétude. Votre esprit s'emballe avec des pensées de tests de grossesse et d'échographies et de regarder votre bébé obtenir son diplôme universitaire - une vie imaginaire que vous avez créée, nourrie et aidé à grandir tout cela parce que le petit peu de sang que vous espériez trouver ce matin n'a pas fait son apparition. Que la grossesse soit actuellement votre objectif ou que vous la reteniez temporairement ou définitivement, un fœtus in utero n'est certainement pas la seule cause de règles qui disparaissent. Voici 6 raisons, outre le fait d'être enceinte, pour lesquelles vos règles pourraient être en retard.
1. Stress
Si vous avez été stressée au travail ou si vous avez dû faire face à d’autres facteurs de stress, notamment traumatisants, vos règles pourraient être en retard. C’est ce qu’on appelle l’aménorrhée hypothalamique . « L’hypothalamus est le centre du cerveau et contrôle la reproduction. Il produit une hormone qui signale la production d’autres hormones nécessaires à l’ovulation », selon Shady Grove Fertility. Donc, si vous avez été stressée par quelque chose, grand ou petit, faites de votre mieux pour trouver du temps pour vous détendre. Si vous avez vécu une situation traumatisante, vous devriez appeler votre médecin et demander l’avis d’un professionnel.
2. Être malade
Les merveilles que votre corps accomplit sont toutes liées à un certain niveau. Lorsqu'un système ne fonctionne pas aussi bien qu'il le devrait, les autres sont également affectés. C'est comme un jeu de survie : quel processus corporel est le plus important en ce moment ? Si vous avez un rhume, la grippe ou un autre type de maladie, votre cycle menstruel est probablement le premier à être interrompu afin de permettre au reste de votre corps de reprendre son activité.
3. Fluctuations de poids
Dites bonjour à votre hypothalamus (le centre du cerveau qui contrôle les hormones reproductrices, comme l'œstrogène). Lorsque vous subissez des fluctuations extrêmes de votre poids, la quantité d'œstrogène libérée peut avoir un impact sur le fait que vous ayez ou non vos règles. Si vous perdez beaucoup de poids rapidement, votre corps ne produira pas suffisamment d'œstrogène. Si vous prenez trop de poids, votre corps aura trop d'œstrogène. Dans tous les cas, cela pourrait être une raison pour laquelle vos règles sont en retard.
4. Changement dans votre emploi du temps
Des changements mineurs dans votre emploi du temps n'auront pas d'impact sur votre cycle menstruel, mais des changements plus importants, comme le passage au travail de nuit ou le décalage horaire dû à un voyage à l'autre bout du monde (vous êtes une jet-setteuse, vous !), peuvent avoir un impact. La bonne nouvelle est que ce changement est temporaire. Une fois que votre corps s'est acclimaté à votre nouvel emploi du temps, vos règles devraient reprendre leur cours normal. Si ce n'est pas le cas, il vaut la peine d'appeler votre médecin.
5. Déséquilibre hormonal
Les hormones jouent bien sûr un rôle important dans votre cycle menstruel. Elles déterminent l'intensité, la durée et même la survenue de vos règles. Si vos hormones sont déréglées, vous risquez de ne pas avoir de règles. L'une des causes pourrait être le syndrome des ovaires polykystiques (SOPK) ou l'endométriose . Si vous pensez que c'est le cas, appelez votre médecin. Il pourra vous indiquer la voie à suivre pour vous aider à réguler vos symptômes.
6. Votre contraception
Oui, même si vous ne renoncez pas aux pilules de sucre, votre contraception pourrait modifier votre cycle menstruel. Que vous ayez un stérilet, que vous receviez des injections de Depo ou que vous preniez la pilule, les changements hormonaux causés par la contraception peuvent parfois éliminer ou diminuer vos règles. Bien que cela puisse parfois être un effet secondaire bienvenu, il est bon de savoir que c'est en fait la cause de règles tardives ou inexistantes.
Si vous pensez être enceinte, il est toujours judicieux de faire un test. Sinon, parlez de vos règles tardives à votre médecin. Il pourra vous fournir des informations précieuses et vous rassurer.

Hi Nike,
Being sick can absolutely affect your cycle and flow. The amazing things your body does are all intertwined on some level. When one system isn’t working as well as it should, the others are affected, too. It’s like a game of survival – which bodily process is the most important right now? If you have a common cold, the flu, or some other type of illness, your menstrual cycle is likely the first to be shut down in order to get the rest of your body back up to speed.
Taking medication can also influence the menstrual cycle and cause periods to be late. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance and cause it to get off balance.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, I would recommend consulting a doctor. Please keep in mind that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot make a remote diagnosis. Only a medical professional can make the necessary examinations.

Hi Mwiche!
Hi Favour!
Sorry to hear your period is late! I totally understand that it causes stress and insecurity.
Many reasons might delay your period, such as stress, hormonal imbalance, or lifestyle changes like a new schedule. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance.
Delayed periods can always be an indication of pregnancy. Please note that the easiest way to find out if you are pregnant is with an at-home pregnancy test.
The morning after pill isn’t a contraceptive method and there is therefore a chance of both pregnancy and STD. The pill contains a huge amount of hormones which can cause changes in the menstrual cycle for even a few months after use. Please refer to the instruction leaflet of the morning after pill for information on its possible effects on the period and a possible delay and/or ask your doctor or in the pharmacy.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, we recommend consulting a doctor.

I normally have 24 days cycle and I last saw my period on 9 August and had unprotected sex on 13 August then took plan B on the 15 of August and my period was supposed to come out on 1 September and is yet to come out. I did test with and it was negative but I haven’t seen my period yet
My name is mwiche and I am 19 years old.in june I once suffered from urinary tract infection which I think caused my period to come early on the 12 of august that too for just 4 day without heavy flow.Then I had unprotected sex the 19 of august on the 8 th day of my menstrual cycle but took the morning after pill on hour 30 mins later after the sex. Today is the 4th of September and I still haven’t seen my period do you think I’m pregnant.though my breast are full and heavy and soft I also feel a sharp small pain in my waist when I get up.
Hi Rashmi,
sorry to hear your period is late. Many reasons might delay your period, such as stress, hormonal imbalance, or lifestyle changes like a new schedule. Being sick and taking some medication may also influence and mess up with your menstrual cycle. Hormones regulate the menstrual cycle, and many things can affect your hormone function and balance.
Especially when you are young and started with your period it is common that the period is irregular. It may not come for several weeks. Or on the contrary, it may also happen that you just had your period and it is coming again quickly. Your body and hormones need to find their balance first and during this phase, which may take some time, it is common for the period to be irregular. This means it can be irregular when it comes to the length of the menstrual cycle, but also when it comes to the length and intensity of the period itself.
If the period doesn’t return until next month, if you think you might be pregnant or generally if you are worried, I would recommend consulting a doctor. Please keep in mind that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot make a remote diagnosis. Only a medical professional can make the necessary examinations.

Hello, I’m 17 years old. This is my first time experiencing delayed period. Last month September I had my period but this month, I’m still waiting. I don’t have a boyfriend and im not sexually active. But I always take caffeine in the morning. According to my research, caffeine affects the menstruation and I’ve been stressing a lot and it affects my academic performance. November is near and I’m not having it. What should I do?
