Reasons for Late Period

Unread post by Sam W »

Hi Music Lover,

So, as you've already been reading about, periods can be late for all sorts of reason. If you haven't already read it, this article contains even more reasons why periods can be late: M.I.A or, Dude, Where's My Period? . Too, it's completely normal to have a period that arrives a few days later of earlier than expected. It may also help to know that a late period is generally considered so only once it is five days later than the latest it is expected, so your period is only now transitioning into the "late" category.

Just as an aside, you and your partner are actually sexually active, you're just not engaging in vaginal intercourse. I mention this just in case you're asked that question by healthcare provider, so you can give them the most accurate answer possible.
