Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Stress usually alters the normal menstrual cycle, so, there is no need to worry about it. You can still take a pregnancy test to be sure, although one week before normal menstruation is considered a safe period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purnima Sharma
