Question 1

what is considered a missed period?

Accepted Answer

It never came: In hindsight, a missed period would be a late period that never came (even after waiting 2-3 weeks). Some people use the words "late period" and "missed period" to mean the same thing... so a woman might say she has a missed period if her period is a day or two late. The definition isn't written in stone, and that's probably fine.

Question 2

what are the causes for a missed period?

Accepted Answer

Anovulation: If you missed a period and your pregnancy test came back negative, then you most likely had an anovulatory cycle, meaning your ovaries didn't release an egg. This happens from time to time but if consistent, see your doctor because you may have a hormonal imbalance. Consider a birth control consultation to regulate your periods and avoid unplanned pregnancy.

Accepted Answer

Anemia: Can low blood cause missed period? I believe what you are refering is if having low hemoglobin level can cause a missed period.

However dont rely on this and if missed period consider pregnancy or other medical condition. See your obgyn.
