Period one day late in most cases does not mean much, and you shouldn’t panic yet. Most women with menstrual\u00a0period that goes missing for a day may be due to hormone shift that occurs due to severe weight loss, sleepless nights, stress, and drugs.<\/p>\n
However, it’s possible you have a baby coming.<\/p>\n
If pregnant, your period will not come as usual. The chances that you’re pregnant is even higher if you had sexual intercourse some weeks ago during your fertile days<\/a> without any protective measures.<\/p>\n Did you have any light bleeding days before your period is due? Any increase in your breast size? Do your breast hurt with nipple itching? Are you getting tired very quickly?<\/p>\n You should know your menstrual cycle can fluctuate sometimes. And, though, most women will have period every 28 days, it could come late or early.<\/p>\n This article explains why you’ve missed period for<\/a>\u00a01 day and signs that\u00a0indicate you’re pregnant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don’t always think it’s pregnancy. Most women don’t know how to calculate next period date. This could cause unwanted panic. Are you sure your period is regular? Do you understand your menstrual cycle?<\/p>\n If you’ve started having menses for your first time in life, it may be irregular and may come early or late\u00a0because your hormones are still unstable at this point. In most women, period gets regular in about 1 to 6 years.<\/p>\n If you have a regular cycle, the number of days\u00a0between periods<\/a> is your menstrual cycle length. If regular over months, it is easy to predict your next period date.<\/p>\n Let’s say your period is normal for months now and occurs every 28 days. This means, if your period were to start on the 1st of December, your next period should begin on the 29th of December.<\/p>\n On the other hand, your period may be irregular due to<\/a> hormone imbalance, infections or medical issues like polycystic ovaries. It becomes difficult to calculate your next period.<\/p>\n It’s always important not to ignore<\/a> pregnancy if you’ve had sexual contact without condom use. If you get pregnant, your body produces a lot of hormones that prevents your period and ovulation from showing up.<\/p>\n Absent period may be one of your first signs if pregnant. However, some women may detect pregnancy days before missing period through implantation bleeding and cramps.<\/p>\n Implantation bleeding, which does not occur in every woman, is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. After fertilization, the embryo, formed by the union of the sperm and ovum, digs into the endometrium leading to bleeding. This bleeding usually occurs with mild cramps and is short-lived.<\/p>\n Other signs of pregnancy are<\/em><\/p>\n It’s important you sit out for some days if you’ve not had any of these pregnancy symptoms. If you get bothered, you could test for pregnancy by using very reliable first response pregnancy kit.<\/p>\n Using an accurate kit that can detect pregnancy when hormones are low is important. The First response kit has an accuracy of 66 percent when tested five days before your period.<\/p>\n On the other hand, you could still have a false negative pregnancy test if the test is carried out. False negative test means, you are pregnant but not detectable on test strips.<\/p>\n This happens if your hormones- human chorionic gonadotropin, is very low<\/a> to be diagnosed by test strips.<\/p>\n To prevent this, if you have a false negative result with pregnancy signs, you should re-test with your urine or blood\u00a0after seven days.<\/p>\n If pregnant, talk to your doctor ASAP.<\/p>\n Having stressful days, sleepless nights and excessive weight loss can have serious effects<\/a> on the way your hormones functions.<\/p>\n Your period is regulated by hormones that will be released from the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries and the thyroid glands. When stressed, many of these hormones are not secreted, or their volume is reduced.<\/p>\n This may cause your period to be absent for days. In some women, stress may result to no period for 1 or 2 months<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Why is my period one day Late?<\/span><\/h2>\n
