Can this cause my period to be late?!
Question: Can this cause my period to be late.?
Usually my period comes like clockwork every 23 days.. Yesterday it was due around the time I had to take a drug test for a job.. I was really really nervous about that because I didn't have any tampons so I'd have to wear a pad, and it would be so embarrassing if I bled into the cup.. So I worried about it and prayed for it not to come even though I was cramping and spotting a little..
Well its been 24 hours since then and it still hasn't come.. I don't even feel crampy anymore.. Could all my nervousness yesterday have caused a delay.?Health Question & Answer

My understanding is that strong emotions can cause periods to be delayed.. I know that has happened to me several times..
If it lasts more than a few days though, is there any possibility you could be pregnant.? I hate to suggest that, but that is of course the main reason for missing periods :)..
I would wait a few days, try to stay calm, and hopefully everything would be back to normal.. If not, however, you may have to look at the other option or if pregnancy's not a possibility, you may need to see your doctor..
I would wait until you are a week overdue, then take action.. I'll cross my fingers for you in the meantime that it was just stress and that nothing's wrong.. :)Health Question & Answer
