Patient replied :

Hello again, I am eighteen. I dont have a regular cycle but I usually expect my period between the 15th and the 20th of the month. I am always depressed if my period has not come so I am not sure if it is really my stress causes my delay period. Recently, I am just move to Japan so my daily schedule is completely change so I am not sure if it affects my cycles or not. Thank you!


Hi.
Many factors can affect the menstrual cycle.
Travelling, change of climate, stress, anxiety, weight changes, changes in exercise schedule, smoking, drinking, late nights, erratic eating habits - all of these can impact it.
So dont worry.
Just maintain a menstrual diary, detailing the dates.
IF you do not have a period within a week, please schedule an appointment with an OB - GYN.
Go for an internal exam, Pap smear, Pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal levels ( FSH, LH, TSH ).
IF these are normal, dont worry, you can definitely attribute it to stress, travelling and change of place.
You might need progesterone tablets to kickstart your cycle if that is the case.
Take care.
