Missed Menstrual PeriodA missed menstrual period (amenorrhea) is one of the first early pregnancy symptoms that a woman looks for. This pregnancy symptom can be misleading though, as there may be a few different reasons why you missed a period or why it may be a couple dates late. For the woman who has an irregular menstrual cycle, a missed period may mean nothing out of the ordinary. There are some women that naturally have menstrual cycles that do not follow a set pattern. One month the cycle may last 27 days and the next month it may be 41 days. Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is caused by a hormonal imbalance, may never be able to use a missed period as an indicator of pregnancy since many times their periods are irregular and few and far between. For women with irregular periods or ones that have hormonal issues like PCOS, the absence of a period should not be factored in as one of the pregnancy symptoms. Accurate Baby Gender Predictor

There are a few other reasons why a woman may miss her menstrual period.
Malnourishment, being underweight, and exercising too much can all cause a missed menstrual period. These items put too much stress on the body, causing it to lose its balance.
Although all of the above factors could be a reason for the absence of your menstrual period, the number one reason is actually pregnancy. When a woman gets her menstrual period it is due to the shedding of the lining of the uterus which is prepared for a fertilized egg to implant in. When the woman ovulates and the egg does not get fertilized it sends a message to the uterus to shed the lining. This is why a missed menstrual period is a pretty good indication of pregnancy and is a pretty reliable among the pregnancy symptoms. If a woman has regular or semi-regular periods every month, the absence of a period one month can almost always be related to pregnancy that is considering the factors above have also been considered. If you have missed your menstrual period, you may want to take a pregnancy test. If you the test comes out positive, call your doctor for your first prenatal visit. If the test comes out negative, and you still think you may be pregnant, wait another 3-5 days and take anther test. If it still comes out negative, wait awhile longer for your period to finally show and take into consideration the reasons stated above from amenorrhea. If your period still does not show after 2-3 months, you will want to call your doctor so he can run some test on you. Related to Pregnancy Symptoms

I used your gender prediction test (and yes! you were right- it was a GIRL!) I wanted to put her prediction in her baby book.) Thanks so much
Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the accurate prediction. When we were trying to conceive we did all the 'tricks' to ensure we would have a boy. I was so anxious to find out that as soon as possible that I visited your web site when we were only 1 month pregnant. Your site told us we were having a boy and we were so excited. Of course you always have those people that don't believe it till they see it, but we were pretty confident we had done everything right. Well we had our ultrasound on the 21st and it is definite we are having OUR BOY!!! We do plan on having another one so I will definitely be visiting your site to ensure our last one is a girl/. Thank you so much...and keep up the good work!!!
Thanks!! The Fortune Baby predicted it was a boy (which we really wanted) & the ultrasound confirms! I will recommend you to all my pregnant friends!!!
We just wanted to let you know we had our 20 wk sonogram yesterday and were told we're having a BOY!!! -- Just as you predicted!! We already have 2 girls so naturally (even after taking your baby gender prediction test back in June) we were still so convinced it would be another girl. Several versions of the Chinese calendar also said girl. Of course, our first concern has been a healthy child but this news has put us over the moon! I will most definitely pass along your site to other expecting friends. Thank you so much ... we couldn't be more thrilled!!!
