Having Irregular Periods, Sleeplessness, Stress. Negative Pregnancy Tests. What Should Be Done To Regularize Periods?

Hi.. I am 23 year old and unmarried. I have delayed my period for like 20 days now.. Irregular periods are not new to me as I have seen these delays in my teenage also but about 5 months back I had emergency contraceptive pill and since then there's a shift in period dates.. It goes like 40, 43 and now 50 days.. Also I want to bring to your notice that at the same time around I started my job.. Which makes me stressed 24*7.. I be never experienced this much stress ever as it causes me sleeplessness also..

Also, I have started getting my period symptoms 5 days back.. And though I have had protected sex once since my last cycle but still taken pregnancy tests thrice, all negative.. When would I get my period.. What can I do to regularise it?

Hello,

There are several reasons of delayed period like PCOD, over wt, mental stress, hormonal imbalance, hypothyroid state etc. You must consult with gynecologist for proper clinical examination and relevant tests like USG, hormone test etc.

Hormonal medication is required to induce period as pregnancy is possibly ruled out. Avoid stress by regular meditation and control body wt. Good luck.
