Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Contrary to popular belief, many women have irregular menstrual cycles and skip periods occasionally. Stress, weight changes, traveling, or even worrying about unplanned pregnancy can cause you to miss your period. There are other hormonal conditions and medical issues that can also affect your menstrual cycle.
What I suggest you do with this point is just wait and see. Your period is only one week late, so I would just see if you get it later this month. I would continue to use pregnancy protection with your partner during this time if you do not desire pregnancy, because just because you haven't menstruated doesn't mean you don't ovulate.
Generally, I recommend evaluation by a gynecologist or medical doctor if you have missed your period more than three months. In addition, medication can be prescribed for you to restart your menstrual cycle if you have hormonal irregularities.
I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was reassuring.
Best wishes,
Dr. Brown
