No sex but missed period
I’m looking for some advice or reassurance about my period.
The last time I had sex was in June 2024, and it was unprotected. After that, I had a pregnancy scare and ended up missing my period in August. I took a blood test, which came back negative, and my doctor prescribed birth control pills to induce my period. It worked, and since then my cycle has been regular every month.
However, I missed my period this March. I haven’t had sex since June 2024—only other sexual activities, and I’ve been careful to avoid any contact with sperm.
I took a pregnancy test last Friday and it was negative. I also don’t have any pregnancy symptoms like nausea.
That said, I’ve been really stressed lately and had a few emotional breakdowns in March due to work.
Is it normal to miss a period because of stress, even if my cycle has been regular for months? Should I be concerned, or is this something that can happen occasionally? My last period was from 20-26th Feb, I’m currently 9 days late.
Would really appreciate any advice or similar experiences. Thank you!
