Late Period

[JenniferCA]

Hi everyone.  I am on day 15 of my first whole 30.  My period is several days late (that never happens!!), I'm experiencing extreme nausea, and my nipples hurt (which is very rare!)  If I didn't know better I would think I was pregnant, but I'm 43 years old and my husband had a vasectomy six years ago.  LOL.  Could this all be hormone fluctuations related to my change in eating?  I feel terrible - and this is the point I should be starting to feel good.  I feel like I want to eat soda crackers and 7- up to make myself feel better.  Any thoughts or advice?

Well - I just did some more reading in this forum and it appears very normal.  I think I must have delayed ovulation by starting Whole 30 when I did!!  Crazy how that works.  Hopefully I start feeling better soon.

Oh no Jennifer. are you feeling any better today?

Day #22 today.  I'm feeling A LOT better but still no period.  Weird.  I think it's coming soon, though.  Thanks!

If you're still feeling the nausea, I find sweet potatoes to be a great 'comfort carb' in place of crackers. I get nausea issues when I accidentally take my vitamins on a slightly too empty stomach, and sweet potatoes really do the trick. I just pierce one a few times with a fork and throw it in the microwave for four or five minutes.

My period was way way late bit I knew it was coming, 36 days late to be exact.
