Answers:
Here are the 10 most common reasons that you missed your period:

Stress
Stress can affect many things in our lives, including our periods. Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body produces hormones that halt our bleeding. Working with your doctor or midwife can help you figure out what you need to do to relax and get back on schedule.

Illness
A sudden, short illness or even a longer illness can cause your periods to be delayed. This is usually temporary.

Change in Schedules
Changing schedules can really throw off your body clock. This is particularly true if you go from days to nights at work or vice versa.

Change in Medications
Perhaps you're trying a new medication and a delayed or absent period is the cause. Be sure to talk to your doctor or midwife about this side effect. It is very common with some methods of birth control.

Being Overweight
Carrying around too much weight can hormonally shift your cycles and even stop them. Most women will see a return to normal cycles and fertility with the loss of some weight.

Being Underweight
If you do not have enough body fat you will not have regular periods, sometimes you can eve cause your periods to stop all together. This is called amenorrhea. Typically a weight gain will help you have your periods return. This is a frequent cause of a missed period in women who work out to an extreme or are professional athletes.

Miscalculation[
The menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. While we say that the average menstrual cycle is 28 days long, that is not true for everyone. Sometimes our period is believed to be late when in all actuality we have simply miss calculated. If you have irregular menstrual cycles, but know when you ovulate, look for your period about two weeks after you ovulate. That may help you keep an easier track of your periods.

Peri-Menopause
Peri-menopause is the period of time where you are transitioning from reproductive age to a non-reproductive age. Your periods may be lighter, heavier, more frequent or less frequent - but mostly just not normal. If you do not wish to get pregnant, be sure to continue to use birth control because you are likely to still be fertile at least some of the time.

Menopause
Menopause is when you have reached the point in your life where you will no longer ovulate or menstruate. Menopause can be a natural life event or may happen surgically through hysterectomy or through chemical such as chemotherapies.

Pregnancy
Finally! Yes, your missed period might be because you're pregnant! A simple pregnancy test can usually help you determine if you have missed your period because you are pregnant. The urine pregnancy tests and blood pregnancy tests look for the hormone hCG. Health Question & Answer

Some women are aware that they are pregnant from the pregnancy signs their body will give them long before they test positive for pregnancy. In early pregnancy you may experience cramping, bloating, heartburn, or nausea and you may experience more frequent urination. You may experience a creamy white discharge. You may experience food cravings, an increased sense of smell, mood swings, headaches, dizziness or a slight fever as your temperature elevates. You may notice changes to your breasts or nipples.

6 to 12 days after intimacy occurs you may notice light pink or brown spotting. You may experience a short or light cycle as implantation occurs. You may on an emotional or intuitive level feel something is different. If you are tracking your ovulation pattern you can also check the position of your cervix to see if it is still high and soft after ovulation, you can look for increased creamy white cervical mucus and you can look to see if you have an elevated body temperature after ovulation. These signs can all be early indicators of pregnancy. When you are aware of your ovulation, the time between ovulation and your next cycle will always remain constant, from 12 to 16 days after ovulation occurs.

Nausea is a true sign of pregnancy and cannot be confused with an oncoming cycle. As soon as you feel nausea beginning reach for a high protein snack and a glass of water, if you feel better right away and you have experienced the other signs of pregnancy then you are most likely pregnant. Wait for at least 14 days or longer after a missed period to home pregnancy test in order to confirm what you already know. Disregard too early pregnancy test results.

If you are not already taking prenatals for conception and you suspect that you are pregnant begin to take a high quality prenatal vitamin and mineral, usually found at a health food store, to help create a healthy pregnancy and help to prevent miscarriage. Health Question & Answer
