Is Delayed Menstruation A Sign Of Pregnancy?
My period was supposed to come on Wednesday. It s now Saturday and still haven t gotten it. I have been kind of bad about taking my birth control pills this month so I take two in one day every now and again. I have taken adderall occasionally and I ve also been in a lot of stress recently. Do you think those things are possibly making my period late or am I pregnant?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.
Stress ( either mental or physical can delay periods). Taking birth control pills irregularly also can delay the periods.
As you know pregnancy can delay the periods too. Get a pregnancy test done to to find out why the delay in periods has occurred.
I hope this helps.
If you have further concerns do write to me.
