could stressing about when you're 'supposed' to get your period or 'when it will come' delay it?

Well....yes and no.


Extreme and prolonged stress can disrupt the hormonal cycles that govern ovulation and your period - but it's less likely than we think.

no i'm not so much worried about pregnancy. i'm going away next thurs to see 'my guy' and i wasn't too sure if i'm supposed to get my period this week or next...but i'm almost certain its this week/weekend and nothing yet. i'm going back on the pill once i get my period this month so i'm also waiting to do that
