Oh, Hon, I am so VERY sorry for your loss! About 5 years ago, I went through the same thing; I lost my grandfather, drove 2/3rds the way acorss the United States to attend his funeral, had a horrible cold, etc. etc. So when I missed my period, & I told my cousin while I was there, she told me to give it a few days until after I got back: I guess it's pretty common that stress can cause a hold on a period. It's amazing what the mind can do to your body!! There are women who are SO convinced that they are pregnant, that their abdomens swell & they experience a "phantom" pregnancy! All from just having convinced themselves! So, yes, Stress can cause a hold on one's period, and believeing you are pregnant can hold it up indefinately, but either way, I say let things cool down (and yourself!) and then give yourself a test. (BTW: My story ended up w/ a positive pregnancy test! I now have a 4-year-old little girl :D
Best of luck & my condolences on your loss.

Not at all. It's not uncommon to miss a period without being pregnant. Sometimes it's stress related, or a result of a poor diet (usually a very poor diet, like...anorexia poor), but there are a number of factors that could cause you to miss it. If it will help put your mind at ease you can take a pregnancy test anyways, or talk to your doctor so they can tell you what they think is the most likely cause.

possibilities are high you're pregnant and that's ultimate to touch your close by physician and get a being pregnant blood attempt to ensure. Sounds to me you're pregnant and don't problem on the subject of the faint line as my first being pregnant try i took became approximately one week after my ignored era and it in basic terms got here up with an exceedingly very very faint line and returned the subsequent morning and it nevertheless got here up very faint yet a sprint darker than the day earlier. I asked my physician and she or he pronounced any 2d line no rely how easy it incredibly is ability there's a ninety 9 consistent with cent risk you're pregnant then she took the blood try. good success

Not necessarily. There are many reasons that a woman could skip a period. My wife has a period about every other year. She definitely is NOT pregnant.

It depends because you might have and irregular period and that could cause you to miss it a month but i would say go get a pregnacy test done and if your young dont tell no one. Unless you are pregnat

No, it could just mean your cycle is changing or your diet is bad ( not eating enough, over eating bad foods), stress has a lot to do with it too.

no. sometimes extreme stress or excessive exercise can cause you to miss a period.
