person12345 agony auntYes stress can make a period late, but not usually THAT late. You should make an appointment with your gyno to rule out hormonal problems or like the below post said, an ectopic pregnancy.

Chances are, worrying about your period being late is going to make you later! you can miss a period due to stress or worry so maybe try another test to put your mind at ease and if you still haven't come on in a few days go and see your doctor x

pancakes rule agony auntYour period is affected by many factors. If you are stressed then it can delay it, as can not eating enough. Make sure you get all the nutrients needed and it could help with your feeling tired. However, the test could be wrong, the tests measure the HCG hormone which is usually high enough to detect once you have a late period but every woman is different and so you could have quite low HCG levels.

You say that you've had period pains the last few weeks and although that is something which you get in early pregnancy, it may be a bit too early to really be able to detect anything. But like I said, every woman is different and some do experience things in different ways.

What you should do is wait a few days, if there's still no sign of a period, take another test. If it's negative and you are still worried then go to a doctor.

good luck

But when to my doctor and told him to take me a test but said it was normal becuz of my birth control it helps take away periods and have less days..but if u r not on birth control it's still normal it just has to do with stress and well u will be fine hon don't worry :) I mean unless..u had unprotected sex and ur not on birth control then yikes!!!

Stress can cause a delayed period. To be sure take one again but take it in the morning. If it gets worse go and see your doctor.
