My period has been irregular for the last few months. Recently, I experienced a delay and, to be honest, I panicked a little. I'm hesitant to see a doctor, but at the same time, I don't know if I should share it with my boyfriend. Should I just figure it out and not mention it at all, or would it be a burden on our relationship?
I had such delays last year too, my period dates got mixed up for a few months. I was too lazy to go to the doctor at that time, but it turned out later that it was due to stress. I don't think you necessarily have to tell your girlfriend, but first, see a doctor; it might be something simple.
I think you need to see an obstetrician first. Especially if it's been going on for a few months, it means you might be missing something. If you want to tell your girlfriend, talk after the doctor, you'll feel more comfortable this way.
Look, I’m sorry, but if you're hesitant to even go to the doctor, then thinking about whether you should talk to your boyfriend is too soon. This is your body; take care of yourself first. Don't expect guys to understand these kinds of things anyway.
While menstrual irregularities can be related to stress, there may also be other reasons such as thyroid issues or polycystic ovary syndrome. There's no need to hesitate about going to the doctor; it can be understood with a simple ultrasound and blood test. This should be your first step before your partner.
It's not really that I'm lazy to go to the doctor; I'm actually a bit scared, to be honest. I'm worried if something serious might come up. That's why I didn't want to share this much with my boyfriend either. But after reading what you said, I've started thinking more logically.
I think there's more than just a menstrual irregularity going on here. Is there something troubling you regarding your partner? Maybe it could be delayed because of this stress. I suggest you think about it.
