Well, not very late, but if it's not come by tomorrow morning then it'll be a week late, whereas usually it's early by a few days. I know I'm not pregnant, but it's really freaking me out. Do you think if it hasn't come by Friday it would be worth me going to the doctor? Also, I have noticed myself getting particularly stressed recently, so does anybody have any ideas why it hasn't come yet?

Hey there!

Well first off, periods arent supposed to be regular, long story.

BUT if you are stressed, then it will be late or you won't even have one, but don't worry. Many women have irregular periods and its just how their body works, no reason to really fret. Just don't stress and focus on the things that are stressing you out so you can calm down.

If you have any other questions, just ask

Actually, periods are meant to be regular. Some people don't have the luxury of having them regulated without the help of birth control, while others get theirs the same time every month. Just sayin'.

Anyway, stress plays a huge factor here. Since you've found yourself more stressed than usual, this is definitely a cause for why your period hasn't come. Stress, changes in diet, and obviously pregnancy would be major causes for why your period is late. The best thing to do right now is to relax, and not stress too much. If your period hasn't come by Friday, it might be worth seeing your doctor about it to make sure there isn't some other problem causing you to miss your period.

I agree with Shannon.

If it doesn't come by Friday, I would schedule an appointment with your doctor. Now as far as the stress goes, maybe you should find an activity that will make you relax - maybe even schedule monthly masuss sessions. I get stressed out often as well, and usually I will go and spend a whole day just on myself and my goal is to relax.


Besides the period problem, I would try to work on the stress issue as well. Stress sometimes can take control of someones life.

Best wishes,
