A member asked:

I had sex with my boyfriend 2 weeks back, we used protection. the last time i had sex before that was 7 months ago. i am late by 6 days.should i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc… Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome. Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.
