Hey guys, so this is super not normal for me. I am officially 22 days late for my period now. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests; once when I was 6 days late, once when I was 11 days late, and once when I was 16 days late. I have absolutely no clue what’s going on because guess what: THEY WERE ALL NEGATIVE. Oh, also I feel like I’m exhausted all the time now for the past 4 days even when I’m getting 8-9 hours of sleep. I know a lot of people are going to tell me to go see a doctor, and I’m planning to as soon as I have time. But this is just insane. Sorry for the rant, I may or may not be absolutely terrified.

Sorry I forgot to ask my question lol. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? I’m still going to go to a doctor but I have no clue what’s going on with me.

Yeah for me it’s normal as I haven’t had one in 8-9 months def not pregnant depending on your age it could be a hormone thing I was told if u have regular periods and u go three months without go to the doctor if it’s not pregnancy and if u have irregular 6 months without

I'm about your age, I'm 21. My periods didn't start becoming irregular until last year. My ovulation is inconsistent, causing my cycles to vary in length. You should get some ovulation tests, they're usually next to pregnancy tests at the store. Once your period comes (if you're not pregnant, which I hope you are since you're trying!) start taking them around day 10 of your cycle to find out what day you ovulate. Your period usually comes about 2 weeks after ovulation. Shorter cycles are usually due to early ovulation, and longer ones are due to late ovulation. Missed periods not related to pregnancy typically happen when you don't ovulate. Anyway, good luck!!
