A member asked:

My period is 4 days late as of today (12/24/17). my last two periods came and went. (oct & nov.) is it stress? i had protective sex on 10/19/17.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some thoughts...: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc… Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active. Home urine pregnancy tests are very accurate 3 weeks after sex.
