Why Don't I Get My Period If I'm Not Pregnant?

Each body is different and although there are many factors that can alter our period, there are some more common than others. Although we mention them here, remember to visit your doctor whenever you identify something different in your body or when you have specific questions about your health

However, some of the most common reasons why your period has not reached you, if you are not pregnant, may be the following:

Stress

One of the most common causes of your missed period is stress. A very fast lifestyle, excessive workload, financial problems … all this can generate stress and will be reflected not only in your period but in your whole body. Also, paradoxical as it may seem, the fact that your period does not arrive causes you more stress, which causes it to be delayed even more.

To help your body relax and return to normal, we recommend that you include exercise in your daily routine and relaxation techniques such as meditation or an artistic activity that you enjoy. You will see how your body releases that stress and gradually resumes its cycles.

Why the rarest dreams occur days before or during menstruation

Low body weight

If your body is not receiving the necessary nutrients for its functioning, one of the main factors that will be affected is your menstruation. Whether it's due to an eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia, or just consuming junk food, your body is inevitably affected by the type of diet you follow.

If you have suffered a sudden weight loss, your body gives preference to keeping other vital systems running, and your period is not one of them. Try to have a balanced diet that includes fish, healthy fats, cereals, vegetables and fruits so that your body works as it should.

Contraceptives

If you use hormonal contraceptives, such as the pill or the patch, you should know that a small change in the routine can alter your cycle. Forgetting a pill, or not respecting the days off, can be enough reason for your body to get out of control. However, your period is very likely to change when you stop using birth control. This is because your body must adjust to function without the dose of hormones to which it was accustomed; therefore, it may take a few months for your cycle to regulate itself.

Polycystic ovary

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a medical condition that also causes irregular periods. It is linked to changes in hormone levels that make it difficult for the ovaries to release mature eggs. If in addition to an absence of period, or bleeding between periods, you have acne and increased facial or body hair, it is time to visit the doctor.

Remember that in addition to your routine medical check-ups, you should go to your doctor if you have:

Unusual bleeding
