Check UPT!: No need to wonder, just check a urine pregnancy test at home. It should be extremely accurate in early pregnancy diagnosis a week after a missed period (99% sensitive). Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and best of luck!

Maybe - do a home: pregnancy test. Reasons for missed /late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight gain or loss, over-exercise such as in endurance athletes, breast-feeding, stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, medications (i.e., birth control) or med problem (polycystic ovary syndrome or Asherman’s syndrome. #1 reason is pregnancy.
