What Causes Delayed Periods And Negative Pregnancy Test?

Hello, I take birth control and I am normally rather regular with my period, but last month I was a week late and now this month I am also a week late so far and I have taken a pregnancy test and got a negative result. I have also been stressed lately, my boyfriend was ill and I just started back at college and my dad was in a car accident. Could stress be why my period is late?

Hi.

Yes, stress is one of the many causes that can result in a hormo al imbalance and thus cause irregularities in your menstrual cycle. So do not worry, and try to stress less as stress will not really help to solve any problems at all.

Best wishes.
