Im 2 weeks late...

Im an 18 year old female, and Ive always had issues with my periods. I get the most God awful cramps in the world sometimes that leave me in tears. When they get really, really bad, which isnt aways, I get awful stomach cramps, get dizzy, pale, can't move, get nauseous, and sometimes puke. Usually the only way to stop it is to take painkillers and wait till the pain knocks me out.
But with these horrible period problems, my time of the month is usually on time or pretty close every month. But my period is exactly two weeks late today, and I dont understand why. Its impossible for me to be pregnant since I have never had sex. Unless Im the Virgin Mary, Im definitely not pregnant. And the past couple of days, Ive been getting bad cramps, which I usually get right before or at the begining of my period, but it still hasnt started.

Is it normal to be 14 days late when theyre usually timely? Also, is my period issues and pain normal? My mom and sister never had pain so severe and extreme like me.
Oh, and sorry to the men who hate hearing about womens menstrual issues.

    Although its not really considered 'normal' in the gyneacological world, it happens a lot, and sometimes for no reason. Your two female hormone, estrogen and progesterone, are responsible for your menstrual period and depending on the level of each individual woman's hormones, your period will either be regular (if you're lucky) or super irregular. Its normal for hormones to change and when the balance in hormones change, your period can come late, early, or not at all. I see someone mentioned asking a doctor for progesterone. While it is true progesterone medicationdoes sometimes help with 'forcing a period', its a one time solution and will not regulate your period forever and it won't help with the pain either. Why don't you instead, ask your doctor or gyneacologist for the combined pill? Although it inhibits ovulation so periods don't even ever occur, the pill was designed to include 7 placebos in each pack of pills that trigger withdrawal bleeding, and most women who don't know how birth control works call this a period. If you want to have a 'period' and being late bothers you, you canask for the combined pill. PS, the pill helps A LOT with the pain, too. It reduces the production of the chemical that promotes uterine contractions which is what causes the pain.

    This could be hormonal imbalances. My wife had something called PCOS randomly at one point in her life. You could get tested for this. I would see a doctor if it extends another few days.

    It's normal. I've had a period be 4 months late while others missed half a year. Honestly depends on your stress level and diet, sometimes. Hormonal and chemical problems for some, too.

    For the pain part it differs from woman to woman. Some get really extreme cramps, as well.
