Hi, Anon, and welcome to EmpowHer. Thanks so much for your question.
Stress can absolutely cause a late period. Especially intense stress like you are feeling now. Our cycles are determined by our hormones. When we have a lot of stress in our lives, those hormones can indeed get out of whack.
I'm so sorry that you're away from home and feeling homesick. I have been in your shoes and being homesick is really difficult. Is this a permanent situation or will it end soon? Do you have any friends where you are?
If your last period started August 6, you are only on day 29 right now. Is that late for you? How long are your cycles usually?
