Could being sick be the reason my period is late?

Yes it can be but: Yes being sick can delay your period sometime.But if you had unprotected sex and missed your period,you should do an inhome pregnancy test done to rule out the commonest cause of missed period

Possibly: Reasons for missed/late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problems (i.e. PCOS). #1 reason is pregnancy. A home pregnancy test can help.
