My girlfriend has periods on a regular basis (e.g., they're steady from one month to the next, on the exact date).
She missed her last period, by over 3 weeks now. We've bought and used a pregnancy test which came back negative last week (two weeks after missed period). It was Clear Blue I believe. The test was run properly.
We're starting to get worried. It's been way too long for a simple 'delay'.
She was on the pill, but forgot them for a few days, and then took two on the day her period was due.
One thing I am questioning: last month, she had a huge reaction to poison ivy and had to take a considerable amount of cortisol cream and I believe pills. From what I could find, cortizol affects periods. Could that be it?
Please let me know what you think. We're extremely stressed, and I'm sure that's not helping her situation.
