why did my period come early?

Just chill ... nothing is wrong ... periods come and go early and late as you are stressed, different things happening in your life, etc.

Yes, several factors can cause your period to be delayed, including a strenuous exercise regimen (over-exercise). Other factors related to excercise includes: metabolic, malnutrition, and emotional distress i.e. unhappy love afair, divorce, and so on.\n\nKeep in mind, however, your period does not have to come the same day, same time, every month. A 1 - 5 day variance can be prefectly O.K.\n\nIf you believe that running or exercising may be the cause of the change in you cycle, you should discontinue your exercise(s) and discuss with your doctor a more sutible exercise regimen. You may also visit a local gym a speak with a fitness instructor about a exercise that is right fo you.\n\nHope this answers your question!

Stress and weight changes can cause you to skip periods every once in a while. See your doctor if you think it's something else.

Have you been exercising alot more than you ever have the last 3 months?\nHave you been stressed out the past 3 months?\nAre you eating right the past 3 months?\n\nIf you have been exercising alot more this might be the cause of ur period not coming this happens to alot of women who r very athletic.\n\nIf you have been stressed your period could not come. Very unlikely but it can happen.. and the same with not eating right.\n\nInstead of calling the doctor I would talk to you gynocolgist.\nThey'll no more about that than your normal doctor.\n\ngood luck :]

Congratulations!  No, you definitely do not have to worry. It's annoying when your period shows up unexpectedly like that, but not everyone has an ultra-predictable cycle, especially when they're really young.  It might take a while for your body to establish a schedule, but that alone is not something to worry about.

The move you made was it to a different altitude? Changes in altitude can cause changes in menstrual flow(seriously). Stress can do it too. I would go get a blood test for pregnancy asap because it could be a multitude of things from the very serious to nothing at all, but blood work would atleast rule out the ones you should be most worried about. In the mean time try to relax. The three to five pounds could also be from stress as well think about the way you eat during finals time(lol, i gained 8 in two weeks). Good luck to you I hope you get the results you are hoping for.

Yes- there are numerous factors that can cause a period to be late, and stress is one of them.  Other causes can be medication, hormonal imbalance, and infection amongst other reasons.  2 weeks after a missed period is the best time to be tested, and a blood test is so much more accurate so in 2 weeks time see your doctor.

You absolutely need to see a doctor!!!  This is not normal.  I had heavy periods but never like that.  Could you have been pregnant?  If so, it could be a miscarriage - but either way - GET TO A DOCTOR!

a lot of women are irregular, if you have been early or late before, it is just you.  you do not have a "regular" ovulation cycle.  Also the menstrual cycle can be affected by a lot of things some of them being stess, an increase or decrease in physical activity, or increase/decrease in drug or alcohol use.

Stress, is a BIG factor in why your period may be late...if you are truly worried though, make an appt with your doctor.  Those tests are not always correct.

It can be caused by stress.  even if you don't think you are stressed there could be something that is bothering you just enough to screw up your cycle!  Also age....When I was younger my cycles were so heavy, but now that I am almost 30 it has started to slow down.

various things can effect your menstrual cycle.  for one, you won't have one unless your body fat is high enough.  stress can keep you from menstruating.  thyroid abnormalities can keep you from it.  try googling delayed menarche (menarche is the beginning of menstruation) and see if there is anything that sounds like you.  also, talk to your doctor or gynecologist.  some people start later than others.

Stress is one of the biggest causes of missed or late periods.  Also, sudden weight loss or gain can throw your body off, especially loss.  If you don't get it soon, or if it skips any more months, ask your Dr.  If you are really skinny you might not have enough body fat to menstruate, and that's not a good thing, if you don't menstruate you end up with weakened bones and teeth.  I know it's early to worry about that, you've only missed one period, but I thought I'd tell you just in case it becomes an issue.  Good Luck.

I actually got my periods when i was 11 and they lasted for 7 days to this day (im now 27).  For the first 3-4 days it was quite heavy and then it became lighter every day after that until it ended roughly on the 7th day.\n\nI did go on the pill for uterus problems a few years ago and it seemed to reduce it down to 3-4 days which helped a fair bit.\n\nAs for whether or not its normal, i asked the same thing of my doctor.  Especially seeing i had endometriosis.  He told me that for every woman it is different and sometimes regardless of uterus health a woman can bleed for 7 days.  My own sister who is perfectly healthy also gets hers for the same amount of time.\n\nAs for your periods not coming on every month, it does mean there could be something to be looked into.  Go to your doctor and get it checked out.  Everything might be fine, or your body could just be getting over the stress of the accident.  Stress can make them become irratic.\n\nHope everything goes well, good luck.

If you are changing one pad or tampon in an hour, you need to be seen by a doctor immediately as this can lead to anemia. Menstrual abnormalities can be due to many things including pregnancy, weight gain/loss, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, illness, medications, infection, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons.  Please see a doctor for testing, to determine what the exact cause may be.

It can sometimes take a while for everything to go back to normal. I had my second son four months ago, and my first period was over a week and a half late. \nIf you still feel worried about this, go to your doctor and seek a professional opinion.
