I have a proble, my period is about 4 days late and im worried something is wrong with me. I just took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came out negative. And yes I tested it twice i was really scared! Both came out negative but where is my period? I have been on a strict diet and excersizing latelyand i have been under the most stress i have ever been under in my life and im only 19 but im still worried...does anyone know what is wrong with me?

First of all.... are you sexually active at the moment? And what kind of birth control do you use?

But yes, definately dieting when its extreme, excercise and stress all can contribute to having a late period... what kind of diet are you on.... because anything that is extreme enough to stop your period is PROBABLY not all that healthy.

Also.. are you on the pill? Jus because sometimes thats makes you a bit more regular.... are you usually like CLOCKwork to the day?

Try not to worry...I'm sure this is just due to stress and your diet. I'm sure you'll start your period any time now. Be sure to use good birth control so you won't have to worry like this in the future...you don't need that, especially if (as you said) you have many other stressful things going on. Planned Parenthood can help you find the right birth control for you, if there is one in your area...or go see your family doctor.

Yes,Stress, diet and exercise can contibute to your period being late.
As the previous poster asked, are you sexualy active and are you on any birth controll??

There isnt a birth controll that is totaly 100%. There is always a very slight chance it may not work..But that is SLIGHT CHANCE.
If after 1 week you still havent gotten it, take another test. If that is neg, wait another week and take it again. If that is neg, you can call your doc to see what he or she has to say.

Are you regular?? Do you feel like you have any symptoms of your period??

Hi there
sorry it took so long to reply. Ok no im not on birth control and my boyfriend thinks that he is infertile since when he was younger he had hernias in the lower region. The dr told him that he wont be able to have kids but to check when he is older. I also didnt tell u all that in the last 2 months i lost 36 pounds and i heard that that could also affect it. I took another pregnancy test with the morning pee and it came up negative. I am going to make an appointment to get this checked out soon. I am hoping its just bc my body is changing.
