Hmmmm . . . I have always been on a 23 day cycle. It's short, but it's consistent. The first month off the pill last year (because we didn't start trying for a baby until the next month) my period immediately went back to a 23 day cycle. When my period came back after having Olivia, again, right back to 23 days. Heck, I even had to switch birth control pills a few times because I had breakthrough bleeding around 23 days. My body was just that eager to stick with it's 23 days.
So if I'm so regular, where the heck is Aunt Flow???? I'm not on the pill, but we do use some protection in the form of some very thin rubber thingies which I will not specifically say because I don't want people to find my blog when they type this word in.
I'm 5 days late, which isn't a lot, but it's not normal for me. James suggested I buy a test. I said no, because I'd feel silly. I can't be pregant. Heck, I just was. (tell that to Emmakirst and Mary). I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, all the excitement from the holidays made it late. I once got my period really early because a guy broke up with me. Stress/trauma/excitement can all affect your cycle.
So now I just wait . . .
Posted by Hannah at December 28, 2006 04:08 PMA couple months ago my period totally switched up. I am like clockwork too but it was a 44-day cycle. Only happened twice in my life that I can remember. Weird!
Posted by: Laura at December 28, 2006 05:21 PMI haven't had a period on a LONG time, but I can say that stress and stuff like that have made mine late a few times in my life. I think that's pretty normal, even for women with a very regular cycle. Of course, it could be another baby...which would solve all the whole dilemma about whether or not to have another child :).

Posted by: Jessica at December 28, 2006 09:30 PMWow...a woman welcoming aunt flow~ that's an invitation she simply can't refuse.
I almost called today, but figured you had plans with mom being off and I'd assume James is too for this week.
Posted by: Rebecca at December 28, 2006 11:27 PMOh come on! I can't wait. It will drive ME nuts. Buy the test lol
