Guest Posted October 9, 2006 Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites
JadeStar Posted October 10, 2006 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Heavenseventeen Posted October 10, 2006 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
