When your period doesn't arrive but a pregnancy test is negative, your body is usually pointing to a hormonal or metabolic shift - most often PCOS/PMOS, thyroid, stress or a change in weight. An occasional skip is normal; a pattern is worth understanding.
Rather than waiting month after month, Tvarvi helps you find the reason with the right tests, then works to help your cycle return by addressing the cause, rather than forcing a one-off period.
The essentials
When to look into it
One late period after stress or travel is usually fine. But three or more missed periods (and not pregnant), or a new pattern of skipping, deserves a check.
Common reasons
PCOS or PCOD, thyroid changes, significant weight loss or gain, intense exercise, high stress, certain medications, and perimenopause. Tests usually point clearly to the reason.
How it's addressed
Address the underlying driver - correct thyroid, steady insulin, support weight or stress - and cycles typically return. Medication to regulate cycles is an option your gynaecologist will explain if needed.

Common questions
Why is my period late if I'm not pregnant?
Usually a hormonal or metabolic reason - PCOS, thyroid changes, stress, weight change or over-exercise. Tests help identify which one so it can be addressed.
How many missed periods are a concern?
Missing three or more in a row (and not pregnant), or a new pattern of skipping, is worth a consultation. Sudden changes also deserve a check.
Can stress really affect my periods?
Yes. High or sustained stress can affect the hormones that trigger ovulation, delaying or pausing periods. It's a common and often reversible cause.
Could missed periods mean PCOS?
PCOS is a common cause of missed or irregular periods, but so are thyroid changes and weight change. Testing tells them apart rather than assuming.
Will my cycle come back?
Often, yes - once the underlying cause is addressed, cycles frequently return, though it depends on the cause. Thyroid-related delays can resolve in weeks; PCOS-related ones usually improve over a few months.
