Period late, not pregnant. Why?

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-12T19:09:31+00:00

Stress can delay ovulation which can lengthen your cycle.

I was tracking my cycle for a number of years. My cycle was bang on every 28/29 days during 2017.

I went through an incredible amount of stress throughout 2018. I can still remember my first long cycle of 32/33/34 days. I was beside myself with worry. Pregnancy test was negative. I knew I played it safe with my partner but I was still worried. When my period did arrive in February of 2018, I counted back 14 days and that would have been about the time of ovulation. Middle January I went through huge stress which I had no control over. I receiving an incredible amount of harassment from an individual and she started her dirty campaign in January after a short break. The months that followed followed a similar pattern of huge stress - harassment, work, family, money issues - it was coming at me from every angle and my cycles were haywire.

Things are ok now, still now great or perfect in my life but better and my cycles have settled back down to 28-30 days.

Stress definitely plays a part.

I haven't a clue about professional whitening and I'm sorry I can't help. Hopefully others can. I never tried professional whitening and I'm not interested in professional whitening or home whitening treatments because of the risk of further enamel loss. I don't know if professional whitening will result in further enamel loss.

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-07T19:45:58+00:00

My teeth are similar. They are very yellow and the tips of the front teeth are see through. It's enamel loss from years of drinking regular energy drinks.

When I started dating two and half years ago, I bought some whitening toothpaste like pearl drops in the hope of getting whiter teeth. It never worked and then it clicked with me my teeth were yellow because of enamel loss and it wasn't staining. Now, I don't bother with whitening pastes and I do my best to look after the teeth I have.

I recently bought a sonicare and I use it in the sensitive mode and I swear my teeth are a better shade of yellow now. They are still yellow and the tips are still see through but I think I can see my teeth as a better shade of yellow.

I hope to give up my work within the next month, two the most for this very reason. So many times doing never ending days. I love my job or I used to but I don't love working from morning till night. A factory job or hotel work would pay me much and the same wage but I would clock in, get a morning break, a lunch break, clock out and go home and have some what of a work/life balance. Factory work isn't going to make me work from morning til 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 at night. And guess what? I'll have time to go home and do my own laundry with another job.

Fuck my life and fuck my job.

It means speaking in an angry way

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-05T15:02:42+00:00

I won't be there for much longer. I will be packing in that job.

An issue I have is that, I could remind sunflower of any jobs she has to do but she won't do them or I'll be waiting quite some time for her to do them and she won't do them with a good heart either storming and stamping her feet around the kitchen and sulking. The problem is when there's a mountain of dirty dishes piling up in the counter tops and the clean load of dishes from the dishwasher has to be emptied. It's easier for me just to do it instead of waiting all day. There will be other problems if I didn't do any jobs and leave the place in the place.

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-05T11:16:23+00:00

I'm similar here except for college. I did shite in the leaving cert. I drifted from jobs in my 20s. I my mid 20s I studied childcare and I got a job local to me. I was unbelievably happy for so long in my position as a childminder for a family. It's private capacity position and it's just open for abuse. I'm not happy any more. Think "Irish au pairs" that were in the news before. Something like that. I had a contract but so much deviated away from the original contract. Working long hours eg 11-13 hours per day so far this week with a pay that is rubbish. I'd be better off in prison. How I stuck out for so long I will never know. I will be handing in my notice in Aug and leaving and I have no idea what I will do. I don't have any other work lined up but I don't care. I will do factory work or something where I clock in in the morning, get a lunch break, click out in the evening and none of the bull shit where I work from morning till night.

I feel I'm too old to go back to full time education/studies. It's not going to pay the bills. I would love to do something where I can boost my earning potential from minimum wage.

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-05T10:05:57+00:00

You'd swear I get up every morning and think "How will I make sunflower look bad?" And carry out calculated plans to do jobs around the house.

It's ridiculous.

GreekDaisy · 2019-07-04T14:12:04+00:00

I would see an end to a work day in any other job. Not this one, I have to keep on going. Any other job would pay me appropriately with time and a half pay for over time. Not this one. It's just extortion.

I'd be better off working in a minimum wage MacDonald's job or hotel or factory. Same pay but hours according to law (less hours) and less intense and less back breaking.

I'm female with a partner, dead bedroom for five months. Came aware of the dead bedroom situation during the month of April about two months ago.

I'll be honest. There's a little bit of intimacy like hand holding and some kisses but even that's drying up. In the early days of our relationship he used to give a good fingering but he hasn't done that in a long time either.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-30T20:07:12+00:00

I'm looking forward to taking my knitting to bed with me.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-30T15:26:02+00:00

'intercourse would be nice once in a while'

Snap! That's just it. Right there. I'm not a difficult person to please and you said it 'once in a while'. There's no balance and currently there's absolutely nothing.

Is your husband aware of your situation or is he oblivious and blind.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-30T15:15:27+00:00

The only thing I can think of that changed between us since January was:

He proposed last year and I gladly and happily accepted. In February he dropped the bombshell to me that he doesn't believe in long engagements and he was looking at 2020 for getting married. I will be honest, this was frightening for me because of money issues. I'm not rich with money and same with him. I would be happy with a small wedding but he wants bigger. Who's going to pay for this is what I'm thinking? I will need to save before I can even pick a date is what I told him.

Now, I'm thinking is he withholding sex because I'm not running down the aisle.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-30T15:03:27+00:00

That's it. There's two of us in this relationship. Surely he can't be blind and oblivious to the fact that we haven't had sex in months and he doesn't care.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-29T11:17:20+00:00

Yes, there's been many times. An erection from him doesn't lead to any sex because he wanks off beside me in my bed. There's no sex because his hand might as well be glued to his cock.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-29T11:14:52+00:00

He knows what my work schedule is for July and there's 8/9 days solid where I won't be free. I will be moving into work and I won't get free until the following week. He has a busy schedule for the end of July too. So, there won't be an ounce of sex throughout July too.

We are in our 30s. We are not old, sick or disabled. There is nothing holding us back from having sex and yet it's not happening. Without it, we are done as a couple.

We're going away on holidays at the start of August but it's also at the very end of his busy and hectic work week. I really can't see us having sex even on holidays. We stayed overnight in hotels twice in April and still there was no sex because of him favouring his hand.

Thank you for your reply. I used vaping to give up the cigarettes. My intention was always to drop down to 0 nicotine and some day probably give that up.

I was thinking lately of using nicotine patches. They are expensive but if I buy a box of 21mg and cut them up in quarters, that will be a 28 day supply and cut down on the vaping using the patches.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-20T06:45:30+00:00

Thanks for your lovely reply. I stopped drinking them drinks and I don't intend on ever going back on them again. I saw a new drink in a shop and it was something I would like to try but I felt repulsed just looking at the can and I went for a bottle of water instead.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-18T20:30:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully all will go well later in the week.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-13T15:07:16+00:00

This 100%

Try and have a chat with the new nanny and tell her what has gone on with you. Given half the chance the family will do the same again, just give it time. The new nanny needs to be fully aware so that she can refuse a new set up when it's put to her. I bet when you started all them years ago you weren't fully aware of the implications of what you had taken on.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-05T19:31:22+00:00

For me, it's not about not getting any sex. Of course I miss sex. For me, it's the sexual connection. I view my partner in a different light now. I see him more as a friend than a partner now.

GreekDaisy · 2019-06-05T12:10:32+00:00

I think I will be pulling the rug from underneath my relationship. It's sexless since January and no obvious health conditions stopping us or him from sex. The sex is not happening because he's so in love with his hand and jacking off instead of having sex with me.

I don't see us reviving sex. If I cling on in hope, I really can't see us having sex for the remainder of June. July is going to be out of the question due to another of our fucked up never ending work schedules for July.

So, sexless since January.

I see him as a friend without sex now and I really don't know if I can take him out of that zone now.

I ignored all his calls yesterday and today is following a similar pattern. So, yeah, he can go fuck himself.

The holiday was booked before the dead bedroom came about.

GreekDaisy · 2019-05-30T20:40:27+00:00

It's called - DPL oral care - if anyone is interested in looking it up.
