Period panic!

How long should I wait before I start panicking. I gave birth in December and had my first period last month. I’m now, according to my app, 7 days late but Iv taken a pregnancy test and it’s negative. How long should I wait before I take another one? And if that one’s also negative should I speak to my health visitor or go to the doctor? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😭💖

It can take a while to regulate. My second period was five days ‘late’ but it was just settling down. Third one was pretty much bang on

Agreed! It does that some time to regulate. My second period was almost 2 weeks late and came without symptoms (which isn’t common for me)

My first one bang on. Then I missed one for a whole month and currently I was 2 weeks late before it’s arrived and it’s been here for 10 days🙃x

I still didn’t have my first period 😆 gave birth in December too. Don t know if I have to be worried or to be happy😂 but I m not pregnant anyway.

Your app is probably inaccurate because you’re still normalising after giving birth. If there’s a chance you are pregnant then probably do another one in a week or so and if still negative and worried ask HV for advice.

Literally happened to me! I had my baby in December, had my first one last month first week of March and then my period was later this month and just got my period again yesterday! Super normal!!

Your hormones are still settling. I had my first period after 6 weeks, ended up in a&e it was so heavy. I’m back on the pill I was before and don’t usually have periods while on it but currently just had my 2nd period while on the pill, and it lasted 2 weeks 🥲 when I had my smear test, she said that it’s normal for the periods to be all over the place while hormones are still up in the air!
