A member asked:

I am 24 years old, and my period is 3 days late. how likely is it that i am pregnant? or is there something else that could be causing this?

Check a test: If you're late for your period and you're sexually active, it's best to take a pregnancy test. Sometimes hormonal changes can cause a late period too, but always best to rule out pregnancy as cause, good luck!
