Well I would say you're probably not pregnant xD ... And your lateness could be stress, what with school starting soon and so forth. I wouldn't worry.

Well you aren't pregnant :P Maybe this should be moved to Sex and Puberty? Just a suggestion to the mod :P




There are several reasons you could have missed a period:

1. 1. Stress
      Stress can affect many things in our lives, including our periods. Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body decreases the amount of a hormone (GnRH), which causes us to not ovulate or menstruate. Working with your doctor or midwife can help you figure out what you need to do to relax and get back on schedule.
   2. Illness
      A sudden, short illness or even a longer illness can cause your periods to be delayed. This is usually temporary.
   3. Change in Schedules
      Changing schedules can really throw off your body clock. This is particularly true if you go from days to nights at work or vice versa.
   4. Change in Medications
      Perhaps you're trying a new medication and a delayed or absent period is the cause. Be sure to talk to your doctor or midwife about this side effect. It is very common with some methods of birth control.
   5. Being Overweight
      Carrying around too much weight can hormonally shift your cycles and even stop them. Most women will see a return to normal cycles and fertility with the loss of some weight.
   6. Being Underweight
      If you do not have enough body fat you will not have regular periods, sometimes you can eve cause your periods to stop all together. This is called amenorrhea. Typically a weight gain will help you have your periods return. This is a frequent cause of a missed period in women who work out to an extreme or are professional athletes

Also, one not mentioned there, is that occasionally, women do miss periods. This can happen once or twice a year (more than once or twice a year is probably cause for concern,) and is basically where for some reason, your ovaries don't release an egg that month. If it happens regularly, I'd see a doctor, but otherwise, don't worry about it
