See a doctor: There are so many factors including and excluding pregnancy that can effect a cycle. A history, physical exam, and laboratory testing can help clear things up. Sometimes stress, excessive exercise, low body fat, hormonal disturbances........Can effect your period. 2 days late is not unusual...See what happens.
