I'm Pregnant?

I'm sure you guys gonna congratulate me. But please, keep your wishes. Cos I'm Pregnant NOT! Heheheh.... 

I bought the pregnancy kit this morning as I've missed my period. Eventho' I know I'm not pregnant, just to be safe, I got one kit in hand. Hehehe. After taken the test, I put it aside and leave it for few hours and only to know it's negative during lunch time. I sms my hubby and tryna trick him, he's reply as below; hehehe... :P

Let me zoom the attached photo....

The reason why I did this check because I missed my period for a month plus now. And YES! It's normal for me to miss my period! I started to miss my period since secondary 3 (due to depression and stress). And the longest was 5 months (due to N level)! My mum did send me to the doctor for a check but the doctor inform us that it is normal for us to miss our period as long as it does not exceed more than 6 months. So to me, missing my period for a month or 2 is too normal. But I realized that after having my 1st baby, my period cycle really change. It can be either more than a week, 4 days atleast, too heavy flow or too light flow. Oh well, it's all about the changes of hormones. 

Anyway ladies, don't get too panic if you started to miss your period. Cos approximately one third of all women have irregular periods at some time in their reproductive lives. This means you may sometimes miss/ late for your period altogether. Some other reasons could be as below;

    Weight Changes – Low body weight or excessively losing weight or losing weight quickly can cause you to miss your period. Obesity can also cause changes in your menstrual cycle.    

    Stress – High stress levels can interfere with ovulation and therefore interfere with your regular menstrual cycle. If ovulation is delayed, your period may be late. If you don’t ovulate at all, you may miss your period.   

    Contraceptives Pill – Hormonal contraceptives can cause missed or irregular periods. Some contraceptives, such as Seasonique or Yaz (not sure if it's true)) stop your period for several months or up to a year and others may change your flow so it seems as if you have missed your period.

        Exercise – Strenuous and rigorous exercise can interfere with menstrual cycles. This may be caused by the stress on your body or low body fat.    

    Medications – Some medications will interfere with your menstrual cycle. If you are taking medication,  check with your pharmacist to find out if missed periods can be a side effect.   

    Thyroid disease – Hypothyroidism, an under active thyroid, can change how your body produces certain hormones which can cause you to miss a period or to stop altogether.   

    Breastfeeding – Hormones that produce lactation can sometimes interfere with your menstrual cycle or block ovulation which will cause you to stop menstruating.

     Eating disorders – Just as when you suddenly lose weight or are underweight, eating disorders can interfere with your hormones, causing irregular or missed periods.

    Shift Changes – If you suddenly switch from day shift to night, or vice versa, or have a job which requires you to continually switch shifts, you may notice a change in your menstrual cycle.

        Oh well, it is not unusual for us women to miss a period, so, if this happens, try to relax. In most cases, your cycle will return to normal the next month. But if you're worried, do consult doctor for further check. So ladies, take care and be happy :)
