Can stress cause your period to be late? i am 21 and i usually get my period between the 17th and the 23rd and i still haven't gotten it yet.

It may: Stress may cause irregular cycles. However, if you have had unprotected sex, you should check for pregnancy. Another cause is a simple "anovulatory cycle" where you just may not have released an egg, and a period is skipped. If your period does not come at the next cycle and you are not pregnant, you should be evaluated. Having a gynecologist is recommended to get routine exams anyway.Good luck.
