My heart breaks to hear what you have endured. It seems so heavy a cross to bear. Hold on to your faith, your husband's enduring love, and keep before you your five children, who need you.
It is quite possible that stress is the reason your period is late to start. But, as difficult as it may be, you should take a home pregnancy test if you and your husband had intercourse since your last period.
Emotional and physical stress can affect the menstrual cycle and delay the period. Stress decreases hormone signals originating in the brain. This results in the failure of the ovary to release an egg. This causes an imbalance in the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone. The period may be delayed for a few days to a few weeks and may be heavy when it does occur.
