Late menses: Could be either. Are you having protected intercourse? If not why not? You need to be seen for proper education, info on contraception.

Either: Pregnancy is one of the most common causes of a missed period. It can also give you breast tenderness and spotting. Stress certainly can keep you from ovulating and that will make you miss periods and spot as well. Its best to do a home pregnancy test to be sure. You can get one without prescription at a pharmacy. Best wishes!
