Late Period, Not Pregnant

[Kristen Pardue]

Hi, I was wondering if any of you knew anything about why periods could be so late when you're not pregnant? Could it be stress? I'm usually pretty regular, between 30-32 day cycle, but it's been quite a bit longer than that & I even took a pregnancy test (neg) & no period. Could it be hormonal imbalance. Please help me figure out what this could be from. The only thing that has changed lately is that I've been a little more stressed. Thanks so much!

I think stress can definitely play a role.  Sorry it's been a stressful time!   

 

Are you getting adequate fats?  Are you drinking nettle infusions?   Nettles can help you get back on track, if you aren't.   If you want to dig into it more, we probably need to know more about your diet, your age, other relevant factors.   There have been some similar discussions before though, so you might be able to pick up what you need there.

Are you very under or overweight?  I've had friends with too little body fat lose their menstrual cycle.  Adding fats to your diet such as butter, coconut oil, nuts, nut butters, egg yolks, olive oil can help to increase calorie intake. Also, consider nutrient imbalances?  Nettles infusions can help to regulate hormonal balance by replacing missing vitamins and minerals.

THAnk you ladies! I definitely eat plenty of healthy fats like Avocado, coconut oil, nuts etc. I'm not underweight. I eat very healthy, take supplements, and even take trace minerals. I don't feel like It's diet related bc of how healthy I eat. I work out but nothing excessive. THe nettles sounds like something I should try. Thank you for that recommendation. CAn you buy it at whole foods/body? I'm hoping I can get to the bottom of this soon. THanks!
