What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

I am late for my period and my body feels very hot. I also have a throbbing headache which has lasted for 1 week. I suffer from anxiety and am wondering if my anxious thoughts are creating these symptoms or the late period. I think it s unlikely that I am pregnant because I had sex about 11 days ago but we used a condom and he didn t ejaculate inside me. I took 4 pregnancy tests 2 days ago and were negative. I m very worried as I am too young to have a baby.

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delay in the periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease , or due to excessive stress.
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then the pregnancy is ruled out.
I will suggest you to not to take stress, and wait for the periods for next two weeks. If Periods do not occur, then you should get your self investigated for the cause of delayed periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
