Should you worry if your period is five days late?

I use to have delay periods a lot. Then when it did come on I would bleed like a hog with big clogs the size of my thumb. I could not believe it. I also had real bad pain. I told my doctor about it and he ran some tests. I found out I had a tumor in my uterus. He gave me the option to have them shink or have the surgery. I went on and had the surgery done to have the uterus removed and that solved the problem. I no longer have a period and feel so much better. I have not felt this good since childhood. Loving it.

Well im not sure how it works when you are five days late. I have been on birth control since i was 14 so therefor i get mine within the couple days i know im going to get it. Of course the week before your hurting and very hungry and your body is functioning like you would want it to be. Its not fun for a women to have these things but in life it is something that was given to all of us women. Im not sure why we eat more but its something that it does to us to want us to eat more. I wish there was something to control that but there isnt in life.
