YES.
I remember a few weeks ago, I wasn't getting my period, and my boyfriend and I were starting to freak out, we thought I was pregnant, and he told me to relax (which sounds hard when you are sexually active and you're not getting your period!). Luckily, the next day I saw blood in the toilet. I now look forward to periods! I'm blessed for every single one I get now. Sure, they are a drag, but it sure beats having a child when you can't afford one! (Plus I really don't want kids. It's a personal reason.)

Answer 3

Yes, stress can make your period late. Try to find a way to unwind every day, even just going for a walk can help. Listen to music or read a book. Have a bubble bath. See a doctor if it gets too bad. Stress is bad for your body and soul and can cause all sorts of health problems.
