See your Family Doc: Unfortunately, you've reported too many symptoms but not enough information. There are many causes of constipation, especially inadequate dietary fiber, fluids & exercise. We must rule out pregnancy in any young female who's menstrual period is late. Thyroid disease could account for both. Best to take her to see Family Doc for evaluation & treatment. PS marriage doesn't play into either concern

Pregnancy worries: I am guessing that the underlying issue here is whether this lady might have become pregnant. Other details should be provided to address this question, but over the counter pregnancy tests are readily available and inexpensive.
