So, a few things. I am 45 and my wife is 42. I had a vasectomy years ago (7 of them) and life went on.

This month, her period still has not shown up. It is 10ish days late. She does not seem freaked out about it, and I don't have the understanding of these things for obvious reasons. I don't want to pester her about it, as my anxious mind reels at the possibility my vasectomy somehow self corrected--an admittedly very rare possibility (1 in 4000 vasectomies on average) of course someone has to be the 1, and our anxious minds usually assume it is us. She is not overworried about it, but I am of course crazy with worry.

Is it common for periods to be just oddly late like this, especially at her age? She is usually fairly regular and predictable, within a few days. 10 days seems really late to me, but then what would I know.

Thanks for hearing me out.
