Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 How long can stress throw your period off? I'm about 6 days late. I have been late before maybe by a day or so but nothing major, and for the most part my periods have always been pretty normal. I don't really feel any different and haven't noticed any other signs of pregancy besides not starting yet. Which doesn't always mean anything. I have been stressed some lately, but no more than usual I don't guess. So how long should I wait if I don't get my period before checking in with a doctor?
JadeStar Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Stress can thorw your period off, for how long I'm not sure. I guess it depends. If you are 6 days late and never been before, do you feel pregnacy might be a reason? Or is that just totally not an option? If so, you could go ahead and get a pregnacy test to at least rule that out, or go to the doc and get checked. I wouldn't put it off much longer. Let your doctor rule or pregnacy, or a medical problem and then they can tell you its probably stress or not. Jade
Heavenseventeen Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 My period has came a week later before. If it takes a REALLY long time, maybe a month, then something could be wrong, otherwise try not to stress yourself out even more.
