Can the Stomach flu affect the menstrual cycle?

i usually get my period around the same time every month. this month when i was expecting to get my period i got the stomach flu a day before. it's been 2 days since my missed period. i am still waiting for my period and getting worried at the same time. could the stomache flu have affected my menstrual cycle and prolonged my period?

i was actually wondering the exact same thing as you, and considering that we both had the same problem, i think the stomach flu CAN affect the cycle. My period comes at the same time every month. 2 weeks before I got the stomach flu, I had my period. now, i have it again one week after my stomach flu and 15 days early. so i basically just had two periods this month. i'm assuming it has to do with that darn flu...

I'm worried because my stomach is bloating, I'm nauseated, My sinus' are going insane, I'm having alot of bowel movements, Dont want to eat, Throwing up some times, My stomach and area near my hip is hurting, And feel like crap. This sound like my period? or the stomach flu? or both?

I'm sure the flu must effect our bodies. Last month I wasn't sick and was two days late. I figure since I've been sick one day before - the same as you were- I think my period is due in two days now. I wouldn't stress, it totally makes sense that our sexual organs know the rest of our body isn't healthy. I'm not a doctor but that sure seems to make sense to me.

I totally think the flu does a number on our bodies. And like you I got the flu with diarrhea for a few days and was the day before my period was due. Since last month I was normal and was two days late, I figure it will be an additional two more days. I think it makes sense for our entire body to be healthy before our sexual organs do their thing.

About 2 days after I got the stomach flu I got my period a week early, and usually it is always on time. So I definitely think there is something to this. Some medical researcher should look into this...

I have missed my period by two weeks now. I got a really bad case of the stomach virus and am better now. I am married so have thought of the possibility that I may be pregnant. I took the home pregnancy test but it came back negative. I am still waiting for my period. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? does the stomach virus effect menstrual cycles that bad?

I was googling because:
I had my period two weeks ago. Had an episode of the stomach flu a couple of days ago and told the nurse I was sure that the cramping was not related to the menstrual cycle. I started my period again in less than two weeks since the last one. My periods are otherwise very regular, usually ~28 day cycle.

Looks like others have had similar issues and strangely that makes me feel better that I am not alone. Agree with a previous post in that this is a good research question. As a researcher in another medical specialty, I don't see a connection, but there might as well be! Every machine has to break down or need a little bit of repair/ oiling before it can carry on after a stressful episode I guess....
