HCG and no period

Junior member Age : 24 Joined : 18 Mar 2008 Posts : 21

Hey guys. I am a little late with my period by just a couple of days. Could hcg possible cause me to not have a period. Because the abscence of hcg in the body is what causes the body to shed the lining. I never read anything about not having a period and am very afraid I may be pregnant even thought I have been taken precautions. I know a pregnancy test may give me the wrong result. So my main question is could this cause me not have a period?

I'm not the expert on menses and hcg.. (menopausal and it caused me to HAVE a period after a year of none.) So... I'm gonna say the answer to your question, is likely no.

Recheck the calander, and be calm. Sometimes we're 'off' a bit. winking

hey, try not to worry,
my last cycle while i was on hcg was 14 days late.
i'm not at risk of pregnancy, so i hardly pay attention, but i do write it down, and i really appreciate getting to do the injections for more consecutive days.
the cycle before that was one week early.
i'm not usually like clock work, but even when in phase 3 or 4, i'm still off because of all the hormonal changing.
my 23yo daughter is having the same thing, even seeming to skip a period, then having one two weeks after the other.
kooky, right?
she also has to consider pregnancy, but a period is a good sign when you're worrying...
i'll keep my fingers crossed for you....

When we are pregnant, our body gets flooded with around 30,000 iu of hcg. So the minuscule amount that you are taking daily should not give you a false positive when doing a pregnancy test. So if you're really concerned, take a test. I hope that this helps. sunshine

We have so many people who have had issues with TOM while on the protocol. I don't know if the changes are due to the hcg or to the rapid weight loss hmmmm

We've had some who were really late; some who stayed on TOM for much longer than normal; some who had TOM more than once; some who didn't get their TOM for a month or two...so... confuse1

I dont' know, but we've had a lot of issues...

Well this makes me feel a little better. I know that Simmeons wrote that weight loss would stop immediately if you were to be pregnant and that wasn't the case so hopefully I am not pregnant. I only have 2 more weeks of injections so if nothing happens by then, I will take a pregnancy test a few days after my last injection to be sure. Thank you all for all your support. I'll let you know if I'm knocked up or not!

Mine was late and I'm usually early every month. And I felt BAD, weird feeling actually w/a headache the first couple of days. I wasn't craving food either like normal, but I was holding fluid. I didn't stop my doses, but that's your choice.

Good luck!

Just wanted to let everyone know that TOM came to stay for a while last night! cheering

I've never been more happy to see him. I ended up being a week late but as long as he comes I don't care. I was worried but I knew that I didn't really 'feel' pregnant. Thanks to all of you for making me feel better knowing that lots of women have had this trouble.
