missed period

Im 22, and ever since i started having periods at 13 i have always been consistent in it being a month between, almost exactly give or take no more than 3 days. I had my son Oct of 2023 and when i started having them again i still was consistent up until now. i didnt have a period in july, as of today i am 16 days late. all tests come back negative but i have been having some awful cramps the past week but still nothing. is that normal? i used dr. google and it told me most doctor offices dont do anything until you miss 3 periods but idk im just a little bit confused as to why im so late if im not pregnant and why it decided to do it now.

Take a blood test and find out your hcg

i had a friend that missed about the same amount of days, she went to the hospital to check and nothing she wasn’t pregnant her hormones were just out of wack.

@Princess what will that do?

When you hcg is higher than usual it tells you how far along if you are pregnant it picks it up faster than pregnancy test

I was over 10 days late once after having the baby. My periods are all over the place 28 day 40 days. Most you can do is talk to your doctor get a blood test if you think it’s possible to be pregnant and that will tell you.

Your doctor will see you 8 weeks after your missed period to confirm pregnancy. Call them.

If you're breastfeeding then that's normal due to your hormones being out of whack still. Sometimes I'll be late anywhere from a wk to 7wks.

@Naxieli im not breastfeeding.

🤔 well since you're still not even a yr postpartum it's really not a big big deal for providers. It usually takes a women's body about 2ish yrs to get back to their somewhat normal menstrual cycles. It also never hurts to talk to your provider and check to see where your hormone levels are at if you're really concerned 🙂 or if you have an endocrinologist that you see they can also check your hormones, probably more in depth then your family dr would 😁
