My periods are never late but this time it was 11 days late and finally came on today im not stressed so i was wondering what causes late periods?

Sometimes it happens: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. Other possible causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or excessive weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… a visit to one’s ob-gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent or recurring.
