I am a week late for my period. I feel unusually tired. I ve been on a diet for 2 months now and lost 20 pounds. I took 3 preg tests that didn t work, then bought more. 1 came back negative. With my first child this was all the same, and the number 5 test came back positive after a week of waiting. That is currently what I m doing is waiting a week and taking the second test. Could this be anything else?
Hello I would be happy to help. In some women, due to stress, medical illness and even rapid weight loss, they can have a delay in when they ovulate.  It is like your body recognizing a stressful situation and determining that it is not a good time to get pregnant.  So, if you are not pregnant, the most likely explanation is related to delayed or absent ovulation.  Also, if you are overweight, this sometimes leads to absent or delayed ovulation as well - commonly associated with a condition called PCs. I hope that this helps and good luck!
