Is it possible to just skip a period?

Question

So my last period was 8/28. Normally they are every 32 days which would mean t was due somewhere around 9/30. BUT it never came. Now that I'm reaching the point where (if I had my period last month) I should be about three days away from my next. I have started cramping and having period symptoms so I'm wondering if maybe I just skipped a period? 🤔🤔🤔

Answer

I've certainly skipped one! the month of September I didn't get it at all but was showing signs the whole month, right when October came, my period came too. I'm pretty certain it has to do with if you're sexually active, or have fluctuating hormones in any way. Although, I'm not sure if it's normal, I can say you're not alone!

Answer

You're not technically "skipping" a period. Your period is a constant while your ovulation date is a variable. Due to stress, weight, etc. your ovulation may get postponed or pushed back. Once you ovulate you almost always get a period within 12-16 days (unless you have a short luteal phase).

Answer

Yes, especially if you are stressed or not eating properly. I have skipped periods before. For me, often the next one is really bad if I miss one.
