Surprising Reasons Why Your Periods Might Be Late

By Pallavi

Hii Girlies,

Sometimes I feel life is so tough for us girls. It’s not that I feel we are unlucky and tortured. I feel being a girl makes me strongly blessed and all. But we have to keep track of so many things. Normally what happens with me is that I always forget to note my period dates. I just calculate them on the basis of some or the other events and occasions.

But I am sure once in your lifetime you all might have got worried thinking that your period is late. Well, late periods are not a sign of pregnancy, though that is the first thought usually. A late period can be owing to a number of factors like –

1. Change in your daily routine – If you have switched cities or changed jobs or may be rising and sleeping time has changed then all these factors delays your periods too. And if this timing just matches to your ovulation timing then the delay chances are higher.

2. Stress – Maybe it is because of your exams or you’re some personal issues or some work conflicts. Your stress levels really have a effect on your period cycle. And this results in delayed periods.

3. Weakness – Basically if you are weak inside or your body doesn’t has enough amount of iron then your period will be definitely delayed.

4. Gymming – If you have recently started gymming then your periods are definitely going to be delayed. Because just when you start gym your body weight loss is much more evident. And this in turn will have an effect on your hormones. It will cause hormonal changes as a result of which your periods might be delayed.

5. Travel – Sometimes travelling, changes in time zone, places, water, climate,etc. also cause delay in periods.

6. Dietary changes – If you recently changed your diet pattern, then it is again going to have an effect on both your body weight and hormones. And these both will have an effect on your periods.

7. Hormonal imbalance – Most of the girls suffer from this health issue all their life without even being aware of it. Don’t trust me. Well, how many of you are aware of PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). It causes hormonal imbalance which alters the level of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in your body. PCOS also causes delay in your periods every month.

8. Sickness – Yes, if you are sick and taking too much of medications then that also hampers your ovulation cycle as a result of which you suffer from delayed periods.

9. New Medication – Sometimes if you have started any new medicine then that also affects your period cycle. Confirm from your doctor that this new medicine is not going to effect your period cycle.

10. A new birth control method – If you have started a new birth control method then that is going to affect your period cycle. It is going to have an effect on your hormones and hormones need time to adjust on that and thus your periods will be delayed.

So, these were some of the reasons of delay in your periods. Let me know if you know something more in the comments down below.

Weird Everyday Bra Issues & Solutions

By Pallavi

Hiii Beauties,

Bra issues are something which we have to face everyday in our life and still behave like there is nothing bothering you. But even then deep inside you know there is something really uncomfortable. I am sure there is no lady in the world who have never faced even a single bra issue. Be it one size larger cup, marks of uneasy straps on your shoulders and god knows what more. So, here I have listed down some of the most common bra issues and their easy peasy solutions. so, let’s begin –

1. Unflattering fat – Have you ever noticed something improper or unflattering in your back shape. Well, that is because you are wearing your bra too high. May be the bra straps are just near your shoulder blades and thus they are hurting you and giving you an extremely bad back shape. So, what you can do is just lower your bra straps or wear a bra which has wider back straps so that it covers more area.

2. Uneasy marks on your shoulders and back – Well, that happens with everyone i guess. Some or the other bra straps leaves marks on your shoulders. I suggest immediately changing the straps or going for the one which has wider straps.

3. Regular sliding of bra straps – This is an indication of weight loss. Well, not always. It can also be the case that you have worn a bra for too long and thus it has gone all loose and that is the major reason why it is sliding. So, either tighten your straps or change your bra or best go for the criss cross straps. They remain fitted for a very longer time.

4. B**bs are over exposed – It can also be the case that the b**bs which are meant to stay inside the bra is coming out more often. This can make you really uncomfortable and give a bad shape to your dress. This is majorly because you are using a size smaller than your bra. Before buying a bra make sure that you try it in the store.

5. Visible pointes – Well, i am sure you might have understood what i am saying here. Has it ever happened to you that you are dressed fabulous but suddenly you noticed that the nip*les are visible even over the top and all pointed out. This is the time when you should go for thicker fabrics bra or use pasties underneath the bra.

6. Hate under wired bra – Well, i know a number of people who don’t wear under wired bra because it hurt them deeply and leave marks on their chest. Well, that is not something because of the bra. That is only because you are wearing the wrong size.

7. Bra and b**bs both travel downward – Another classic example of wearing a faulty size bra is this. The straps which are meant to stay at the back keeps dropping downwards and b**bs also keep dropping continuously.

8. Right bo**b smaller than the left b**b – well, every girls faces this issue. In some of them this big and small thing is less noticeable whereas in some it; more evident. You can easily take care of this by just adjusting your bra straps.

9. Tightening your bra by the last hook – Well, when you are trying your bra in the store before buying make sure that you tighten it by the first hook and not by the last one.

10. Replacing your bra – Well, you should replace your bra every 6 months to 9 months time, because by this time you have worn out your bras and they would be much more loose and all torn out.

These were some of the most common bra issues. Let me know what are the other bra issues you face on everyday basis in the comments down below.
