Delayed menstruation by 2 days with a negative test

The absence of menstruation for even two days for women often becomes a cause for concern. The fair sex begins to wonder if she is pregnant. But the test shows only one strip, then other questions arise, even panic appears, what is wrong with me. At the same time, gynecologists assure that with a delay of up to five days, there is nothing to worry about. But if it repeats every time, you need to see a doctor.

Reasons for delaying menstruation by 2 days

A two-day delay in menstruation can occur for a variety of reasons.

Sexual maturation

During puberty, the reproductive system of the girl is not yet fully formed. In this case, a two-day delay in menstruation is not at all a pathology. Doctors note that the formation of the menstrual cycle can be delayed for a whole year, but this is within the normal range.

Stress and psycho-emotional state

Severe stress or even mood swings often cause a two-day delay in menstruation. Constant worries: job loss, separation from a loved one, financial problems, stress due to children, can lead to changes in the body. Menstruation can easily shift by two days, so if you experienced a lot of stress in this cycle and faced a delay of two days, do not rush to run to the doctor. But if menstruation does not come for a long time, it is better to make an appointment with a specialist.

Age changes

Most women go through menopause after age 45. But in the modern world, menopause has become younger, and the “aging” of female organs can be observed even at 35 years old. In women before menopause, the intervals between menstruation increase, the cycle becomes irregular and there may be a delay of two days or more.

Avitaminosis

After a negative test, women immediately begin to look for sores in themselves, why there have been no periods for two days already. Ladies forget to look at their plates and remember how they ate in the last few weeks. A delay of two days may be due to the fact that the body lacks vitamins and minerals, proper fats and protein.

Abrupt climate change

If in December you returned to Moscow from hot Thailand, the body, doctors assure, is under severe stress. A sharp change in climatic conditions can affect the menstrual cycle quite seriously. The whole organism, upon arrival from a vacation from a warm country, goes through a stage of acclimatization and adaptation, returning home is stressful, which can cause a two-day delay in menstruation.

Overweight

Excess weight leads to disruption of the endocrine system and, as a result, ovarian dysfunction. The delay in menstruation in case of non-compliance with the basic rules of a healthy lifestyle is a constant phenomenon. A delay in menstruation due to excess weight can just last from two days or more.

Diets

Most girls striving for an ideal figure neglect advice, and even more so trips to nutritionists. They give up fats for fear of gaining weight, and if they neglect their diet excessively, they experience a two-day delay in menstruation. With any weight loss, you should definitely consult with a specialist at the beginning of the journey.

What to do if your period is 2 days late

First you need to do a pregnancy test. No one can be 100% sure that there is no pregnancy, even if you did not have intimacy on fertile days, ovulation could not be “according to the calendar”, but later. The pregnancy test is negative – and you cannot explain the reason for your delay, then you should see a doctor. He will help to find out what exactly caused the delay in menstruation by prescribing a series of studies, which may include blood tests, urine, ultrasound.

Prevention of delayed menstruation

To maintain health, a woman needs to give up bad habits, overeating, excessive physical exertion, smoking, drinking alcohol.

The reason for the violation of the cycle can also be the work with chemicals. You should choose a safer type of activity and refuse harmful work.

You definitely need to rethink your diet. In order for the female body to function properly, you need to eat healthy fats: avocados, red fish, olive or linseed oil, butter, egg yolks, nuts (almonds and walnuts), cottage cheese with a fat content of at least 5%, dairy products.

Passion for diets, the rejection of meat, dairy products and seafood in favor of vegetable depletes the body, which also negatively affects the health of girls and women.

In no case should you be stressed – nerve cells are not restored, and their echoes are a violation of the menstrual cycle. To unload after a hard day’s work, psychologists advise drawing, listening to calm music or an audiobook, taking a bath, meditating. Your mental health will thank you for this.
