A member asked:

Can stress or anxiousness cause your period to be late, and can being bloated be a sign of pregnancy too?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A high amount of stress can affect the timing of your menstrual cycle. A late period and bloated feeling are also signs of being pregnant. If you think there is a chance that you could be pregnant, go pick up a pregnancy test.
