Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Stress could be one of the reasons for delay in periods in person who have become sexually active.
Kindly have patience and do some mind relaxation exercises in the form of meditation to keep your mind calm.
Eat healthy food and drink good quantity of water. Keep your genitals in good hygiene
In case the delay is more than 10 days, kindly consult Gynecologist for appropriate evaluation and management.
