Can stress delay your period? Yes, but it’s not the only possible reason your cycle might be late.
Stress can affect the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, sometimes delaying ovulation and your period. Pregnancy and other hormonal changes can also affect your cycle.
If your period is late and pregnancy is a possibility, taking a pregnancy test can help you understand what’s going on.
At Alight, we offer free, confidential pregnancy testing in a supportive environment. You can ask questions, learn about your options, and discuss your next steps without pressure.
