My period is a week late?

Post a question: Please post an actual question. Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex.

Period: There may be variability in periods cycle but there is always a question of pregnancy in sexually active females
