What Does a Missed Menstrual Cycle Mean?
There are a number of factors that can cause a missed menstrual cycle, or amenorrhea. Keep in mind that every woman is different, and that while the “standard” menstrual period occurs every 28 days, some women may have periods more or less frequently than that. It is also important to keep in mind that a “menstrual cycle” lasts for the entire month, so the term “missed menstrual cycle” it is actually referring to a missed period. A few of the factors that could cause irregular menstruation include pregnancy, illness, weight changes, or contraceptives, to name a few.
