Is it normal for a woman to miss a period if she isn't pregnant? I last ended on February 16th, and it's been about 6 weeks. normally I only go about 3.5 weeks in between cycles. I have taken two pregnancy tests and they both were negative and I haven't had sex since about Feb. 17th. should i be worried?

    It can happen. Most common causes are stress, low food intake, or heavy exercise.

    it's not normal for me personally to miss unless i have been pregnant. but it's known that stress, illness and probably even weight loss can cause you to miss a period. it seems you last had sex around the time you may have started to become fertile, especially since your cycles are so short. hmm, i would wait a week and re- test to be honest and if still negative may be worth a trip to your doctor. good luck x

    It can happen for a lot of different reasons so don't panic. If you do a pregnancy test in a week and it's still negative then go see your gyn.

    You can throw it off with calorie intake changes and exercise. :) You can also throw it off if you have spent more time with women than usual--you can start to synchronize with them.

    When I start working out more or even harder, I have been known to miss my period. Have you increased your exercise or changed your diet at all in the last month to 6 weeks?

    Probably not pregnant if you're testing negative and have made diet and exercise changes. However, test again, and make sure it's your first bathroom trip of the day to be most accurate.
