What could case a delayed menstrual period aside from pregnancy?

Not ovulating: Many are stress related and have a delayed menstruation. If the problem persists, should see a gynecologist to have a proper evaluation. Chronic anovulation for a prolonged period of time is not a good thing and can increase risk of endometrial cancer. Some hereditory condition such as polycystic ovarian syndrome can have long history of chronic anovulation and irregular periods.
