    No not yet. I'll wait for morning to do that. Part of the reason why I am losing wait is to get healthy for when we do! So I'd be happy either way.

    So, what time is your first pee? Because we want a full report. Even before you tell Baby-Daddy or your family. Kthxbai.

    hahaha. I'll keep you well informed!

    . I have never missed a period due to diet and I have done some pretty extreme diets. . .even the "no eating thing" for days. Go get a test like RIGHT NOW. And let us know. . .

    There is a good chance that you and that guy in your picture are going to have a third face to include in your profile in about 9 mos. Wooh hooo!

    Isn't kind of obvious though? Like if you're having unprotected sex and you're late then chances are your eggo is preggo. I'm not being snarky, I just don't get it. lol because it sounds like your diet isn't extreme and it doesn't sound like you're drastically losing weight. Anyways, congrats. :)

    $5! I wish (I've spent a lot lately lol)

    I can't wait to see you on "I didn't know I was pregnant".

    BTW, I'm a week late, but I'm 46 and pre-menopausal, so that probably has more to do with it. TAKE THE TEST.

    Are you regular? I went 8 weeks without a cycle recently, and I'm usually at around 5 weeks. I was not pregnant. I eat enough, and was under only moderate stress levels.

    We're not having unprotected sex. We're pretty safe. Just because the goal was to get in shape so we can be healthy when to do. I didn't take it as snarky. haha Im not an undereducated 17 year old. I get the mechanics. haha I also get that not everythingi s 100%. I think part of the reason I posted was---maybe it got me excited! haha

    I have a "follower" cycle so sometimes I'm late due to a new female coworker or something. Good luck!

    I'm on the pill and had worked my way into a very light cycle. Since I've been watching my caloric intake, my cycle is heavier and more painful this month! If it's going to be like this every time, I'm wondering which is the lesser of 2 evils :grumble:

    No diet changes will not have you miss your period. I'd take a test..

    I'm going to disagree.

    Lifestyle factors

    Stress. Mental stress can temporarily alter the functioning of your hypothalamus — an area of your brain that controls the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. Ovulation and menstruation may stop as a result. Regular menstrual periods usually resume after your stress decreases.

    Low body weight. Excessively low body weight interrupts many hormonal functions in your body, potentially halting ovulation. Women who have an eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia, often stop having periods because of these abnormal hormonal changes

    Excessive exercise. Women who participate in sports that require rigorous training, such as ballet, long-distance running or gymnastics, may find their menstrual cycle interrupted. Several factors combine to contribute to the loss of periods in athletes, including low body fat, stress and high energy expenditure.

    •Anorexia/bulimia
    •Chronic diseases (for example, tuberculosis)
    •Excessive weight gain or weight loss
    •Malnutrition

    •Psychotropic drug use (drugs prescribed to stabilize or improve mood, mental status, or behavior)
    •Excessive stress
    •Excessive exercise
    •Cycle suppression with systemic hormonal contraceptive (birth control) pills

    This did happen to me. There was a difference of about a week, after I lost the first 10 to 20lbs. I, like you, was a bit worried, but behold my period came and the flow was actually a bit heavier for a couple months, and then normalled out. Nothing to worry about, but its up to you if you want to make sure with the test. :)

    If you actually look at her food diary, you can see that she is eating and her exercise has been fairly low on the calorie burning scale. She may not be eating as much as she probably should (IPOARM and all that), but she's certainly not eating so little that it would cause this over several months or even years, let alone in a mere three weeks.

    The last time there was even a remote chance that I was pregnant, I was late by 1 day and feeling crummy. Soooo I popped out my last prego test and, well, my baby boy will be 7 in May. Now there is zero chance of me getting pregnant, but my cycles are all over the map due to perimenopausal issues (they start early in my family). But diet/exercise never really impacted my cycle when it was predictable.

    I'd just splurge and take the test. If it's negative, you'll probably start tomorrow! LOL
