Missed or late periods happen for many reasons other than pregnancy. Common causes can range from hormonal imbalances to serious medical conditions. There are also two times when it's typical for your period to be irregular: when it first begins, and when the menopause transition starts.


Stress can be a cause

I am a guy so take this as you like. But my wife missed several periods in our time together, and often times it was due to things like stress.

If you're really concerned see a doctor.

I don’t, they’re always on time

[Blackcupcake]

have you been stressed out recently?

[Asker]

Moreso depressed

[Blackcupcake]

that could affect it maybe, your emotional state and hormones do have a strong effect on your menstrual cycle so if you’re concerned, you should reach out to your ObGyn
