A member asked:

Can being sick with a cold cause your period to be a day or so late? not sexually active so pregnancy is highly unlikely.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Delayed menses: Your periods occur only if you ovulate, and sometimes a viral illness can cause a delay in ovulation, which whenever it occurs, will be about 14 days before you start a menstrual period. If you are concerned about pregnancy, wait another week, and get a serum HCG test to make certain.
