Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question. Stress can cause some women to be late with a period. However, if you are having regular, unprotected sex, you are increasing your risk for pregnancy. To resolve your concern, you may want to take a home pregnancy test. Here are a few things to remember.
According to babycenter.com:
the test measures the hormone hCg in your urine
hCG first enters your blood about 6 days after fertilization
the amount of hCG increases rapidly after that
So, You're much more likely to get an accurate result if you wait a week after your expected period before testing.
Hope this is helpful.
