A missed period can mean that your body is lacking in nutrients. It can also mean that you are really stressing. While you may want to get checked out by a Dr. if it continues, you might also want to double check that you are eating well balanced meals, or taking multi-vitamins, and taking it easy.

A missed period can mean a lot of things. At this point, please do not worry. Definitely get an appointment with your doctor or OB/GYN to find out what is going on, but your missed period could be due to stress you are dealing with. Another reason a woman can miss her period is due to travel through timezones.

A missed period can be the result of many things with the first being pregnant, even if you have yet to test positive that could still be the answer.

A missed period could mean all sorts of different things other than a pregnancy. All women have changes in their menstrual cycles over time; this gets more and more frequent as women approach menopause. It could simply be normal. It could also be the result of a change in diet. Less likely possibilities include a hormonal imbalance or illness.
