my last period was on june 6th...it was within the span of june 23rd thru june 26th that my boyfriend and i had protected sex twice and the condom was put on properly and didn't break. The following week i was on a mission trip in Washington D.C. I left on the 27th. im from a small town in ohio...would the different environment and travel affect my body to make my period late? also the past few days before i went on my mission trip i worried about possibly being pregnant for no reason really, it was incredibly stressful to me. The only reason i can think that i was pregnant was because before engaging in intercourse we were hugging so that our genitals were touching but not so much that he was inside of me...it was only for a few minutes and at the very beginning. or could the stress of feeling pregnant afftect my menstrual cycle?

Hi CB
One day is nothing to worry about. Your body is not on a strict timetable, so cycles often vary by a few days or even a week. Stress, changes in diet and exercise, all sorts of things can affect your cycle and change it even further. So if you have had only protected sex and are a few days off, I would not worry. We get many questions on this: https://www.empowher.com/condition/menstrual-cycle.
If a few days becomes a few weeks, take a pregnancy test. But I sincerely doubt it will come to that if everything is as you say. Good luck with your travels! Thank you for writing.
