A member asked:
I'm on semester break and enjoying my life. other than stress and pregnancy, what could cause you to have a delayed period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several possible: Answers to that question. Most likely something is off in the hormones. If the thyroid or prolactin are off, if eating too much soy, if losing or gaining weight. All these things can change the hormones which then prevents ovulation which then makes a woman be late for or miss a period.
