Can worrying about pregnancy after having sex cause a missed period a week later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, I guess if you: Were extraordinarily stressed & anxious about it - that would be possible. Reasons for missed/late periods: pregnancy, low body wt, obesity, marked wt ^ or v, over-exercise, endurance athletics, breast-feeding, ^ stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), anovulatory cycle (no egg released), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, meds (i.e., birth control) or medical problem.
