Instructions
Step 1
To determine the day of your delay, you need to know the length of your menstrual cycle. Usually it ranges from 21 to 32 days, for most women - 27-28 days.
Step 2
Calculate the length of your menstrual cycle. To do this, count the number of days from the start of your period (the first day of your cycle) to the start of your next period. This gap will be your cycle. In healthy women of reproductive age, the menstrual cycle is usually stable, and if there are delays, they are insignificant (1-2 days). The failure of the cycle can be influenced by various diseases that change the hormonal background of a woman, a sharp change in climate, rapid weight loss, severe stress, hard physical labor, etc. In addition, the menstrual cycle may not be stable in adolescent girls who have just recently started their periods.
Step 3
If, according to your female calendar, menstruation should begin, but it does not come, then consider the first day of its expected onset as the first day of the delay. This can be a sign of fertilization of the egg by sperm, i.e. the onset of pregnancy. In addition, a missed period can also signal problems in your body. Therefore, if the delay is more than 7 days, you should consult a gynecologist.
Step 4
Pay attention to your own feelings. If, along with the absence of menstruation, you began to be bothered by nausea in the morning, soreness and swelling of the mammary glands, increased fatigue, drowsiness, changes in appetite, frequent urination, dizziness - there is every reason to suspect pregnancy. Moreover, it is not necessary to have all of the above signs of an interesting situation, often only one or two of them appear.
Step 5
Buy a pregnancy test from the pharmacy if you have a delay. Now there are many different tests that determine pregnancy on the first day of the absence of the prescribed menstruation. Use it according to the instructions inside the package. And nevertheless, no matter what the test shows, contact your gynecologist for any of the additional examinations (blood test for hCG, ultrasound diagnostics).
