Test: If you're late on your period it's always correct to check a pregnancy test. If your actual age is 49 years old though, it's extremely unlikely you are pregnant. Hope this is good news.

Take a pregnancy: Test to know. Reasons for missed / late period include: an anovulatory cycle in which no egg is released, marked v or ^ in weight; eating disorder; over-exercising (endurance athletics), stress, travel, significant illnesses, oral contraceptives ; other meds, illegal drug use, breast feeding, hormone imbalances and medical problems (i.e., pcos).
