delayed period for a week and had sex on second day of cycle.

What if you want to change your period to a later date??

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

We cannot tell people they are pregnant - tests do that. Re-test if you feel you may be pregnant.

There are other for a delayed period or a change in cycles that is not connected to pregnancy. Some of these may be a factor in your life, others may not but I will give you a run down ofsome reasons.

Stress
When you are under stress, your brain may go into alert mode, which can change your hormone levels, as well as affecting when you ovulate.
Ovulation is the time when your ovaries release a mature egg that is ready to be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized, and does not implant in the wall of your uterus, your hormone levels change, and your uterus cleans itself out to get ready for a new cycle for the next month. That cleansing process is your period.
If you are stressed, you may ovulate later than normal, or not at all one month, which can delay or cancel your period for that month.

Hormone issues
Hormones are chemical messengers sent out by your brain to regulate many different functions in your body, including your period. Hormones need to be in proper balance for your body to function correctly.

Medications, travel, illness are other reasons.

Best,
