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 Jacq!
Please understand that we are no medical professionals and therefore cannot give medical advise. Regarding whether you should stop taking iron supplement, please consult a doctor.

I started taking iron supplements 3 weeks ago after a general-health blood test came back saying I had extremely low iron levels (I stopped eating red meat a year ago).
My period, which has always been like clockwork, is now 3 days late, I’m not pregnant either, but I’m supposed to try to get pregnant with this coming cycle, that is not coming.
I’m taking Spatone natural liquid iron and Garden of Life Raw Prenatal. Should I stop?
Hi Haley
Hi Anon
There is a lot that can affect the period and cause it to come later. If you worry a lot or think you could be pregnant it would be best to consult your doctor. Only your doctor can make the necessary examinations and determine whether you are pregnant or what could be causing your period to be late.
Best regards,

i’m 7 days late for my period but about 3 days before it i started putting cream up my vagina to clear out a yeast infection it was a 3 day process and i had to do it every night for 3 days does that affect my period?
Hi there. I have been sick with severe flu on and off for 5 weeks now. My expected date of ovulation was the 26th of June. On the 28th of June, things got pretty hot and heavy between a friend and I. He did not penetrate me, nor did he ejaculate. We were grinding and I was in my panties. I was supposed to get my period between the 9th and 15th of July, I still haven’t gotten it. On Wednesday, the 17th of July I took a pregnancy test, which came out negative. I took a repeat test this morning (21 July) and it also came out negative. What are my chances of getting pregnant from his pre-ejaculate fluid through my panties? If I’m not pregnant, why is my period so late. Please help me.

My last period was at the end of april , and ended may 1st for 5 days . I never had any sex , and im freaking out . Only sexual thing i had was recieving head from my boyfriend . Why is my period so late ? Someone please help .
My last period was during March 28 – April 3. According to the Flo calendar (I track my menstruation period.) Im supposed to get my period during the last week of April, the Flo app isnt accurate but the predicted period dates are usually close when I do get my period.
The first time I had intercourse during the month of April was on April 9, we were using condoms. We also had protected sex at April 24. Usually a week before my period my breasts become sore but before or even the last week of April I didnt feel any soreness so that’s when we became a bit worried.
We took a pregnancy test last May 6 and the result was negative. We also had sex the same day, unprotected but pull out.
Until now, i dont feel any sore breasts but I do know that sometimes I do get my period w/o that symptom but its been too long. I took another pregnancy test yesterday which was a negative and another this morning after I woke up which is also a negative.
The longest time I havent had period was 40 days but its been 50 now. Nothing hurts. Do u have any theories?

Heya Logan,
I would think that if you haven’t seen your period for 3 months and you’ve taken 6 positive pregnancy tests, it would be safe to assume that you probably are pregnant.
That being said, we recommend reaching out to your doctor for an official confirmation.
I haven’t gotten my period for 3 months and I took like six test and all cane out positive is it safe to say I’m pregnant ?
Hi. My period was on the 20th April. I took antibiotics while my period was running for killing bacterias. (amoxy) 500g per day. And had intercourse a day before my ovulation. It’s now my period circle,and it’s not even filling a pantry line at all for 3 days now .And my period last for 4day normal. I’m I pregnant perhaps?
Hai sir my cousin. Periods date 10 . Before date april 10. To day in this 7days missed periods please sir give information details

Content I did my first period on January
18 unfortunately am pregnant while menstrating ….I did D&C on the 5th of march….up till now I haven’t see my period……can someone please help me out?
Hiya Isabella,
Both of the reasons you mentioned are common culprits for late periods, but because everybody and every BODY is different, I can’t say for certain that it’s the reason why you’re late.
If you’re feeling like you don’t want to run out and take a test, it may not hurt to chat with your doctor about what you’re experiencing. They should be able to offer some valuable insight and ease your mind a bit.
Wishing you all the best. <3
