A member asked:

I got my period today but it was 8 days late why was this??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It happens sometimes: 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 recurring or worrisome. (Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.)
