I have a delayed period?
I’m a 19 year old female who hasn’t had penetrative sex but is sexually active. My period is 4 days later than expected but I have had PMS symptoms. I have taken 3 negative pregnancy tests but I still don’t know why I haven’t gotten my period. I get stressed but I don’t know if it’s enough to delay a cycle and I’ve started eating healthier.

Stress can affect your cycles. Also, weight gain or loss can affect your cycles. All of this is not uncommon. If it continues to happen you might consider bcp’s to regulate your cycles.

If the pregnancy test is negative, you are not likely pregnant. If your cycles are becoming irregular, that can be caused by hormone imbalances and it is important to have that evaluated by your doctor.
