A member asked:

Is it okay for period to be 2-3 days later ? 31 usual day cycle

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Louis Cooper answered

Yes: Periods can be delayed by a couple of days associated with stress and/or physical activities--(athletics). More than this requires consideration of pregnancy testing.
