Have you had unprotected sex since your period which started on December 10? If so, there is a chance that your period is late because you are pregnant. In that case, wait until January 17 and take a home pregnancy test.
If you have not had unprotected sex since your last period, the delay can be the result of taking an emergency contraceptive. In some women, the pill causes the next period to start earlier or later than expected, but not by more than five days.
