Original Question :
Hello doctor. Just wanted to know, will the menstrual cycle date change after the wedding date, my wife used to get her menstrual cycle every 28th day. But after the wedding it’s been more than 34 days now and she is not pregnant. I have got the pregnancy test done. Please let me know what could be the problem.
Answer:
You can give yourself full marks for being a caring husband. You mentioned that your wife’s menstrual cycle has been a perfect 28 days and since the wedding day, she missed almost 6 days and yet she is not pregnant. You are right. When a woman misses her period she maybe pregnant. Unfortunately that is not the rule, especially if there are situations that can cause the menstrual cycle to go haywire. In your wife’s case, if her delayed period is not a sign of a pregnancy, then this might be due to a hormonal upheaval, due to stress! Yes, the mind is most powerful and if it is disturbed then it can cause a disturbed menstrual cycle. Sooner or later she will get over her stress and her menstrual cycle will follow the usual rhythm of 28 days. However if it continues I would recommend visiting your local gynae for a checkup.
