Late Periods, No Symptoms Of Pms Or Pregnancy. Feeling Sick. Related To Stress Or Bad Allergies Or Bronchitis?
I have been sick for about two weeks now, I'm not sure yet if it's really bad allergies or bronchitis. I made an appointment with a doctor however, my period is about a week late and I am not sure why. I am not having any symptoms of pms or pregnancy, and usually if I'm very stressed it gets delayed. I was wondering if my period could be possibly delayed because of being sick and being very stressed?ll

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Physical or emotional stress can cause a delay in periods.Physical stress would include feeling unwell.
Other causes of period delay are: (1) inadequate diet (2) extreme physical activity (3) abnormal thyroid hormone levels (4) high levels of a hormone called prolactin (5) polycystic ovarian syndrome
You can consider a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. If this is negative then you can consider waiting to see if it comes.
If there are any symptoms of hormonal issues mentioned above then your doctor may consider blood tests.
I hope this helps
