Stress and a history of irregular menstrual cycles can explain why your period is late. However, since you are sexually active and the withdrawal method is not a reliable means of birth control, pregnancy is possible.
I suggest you schedule an appointment with a gynecologist. First, you can have a blood pregnancy test done. You could take a home pregnancy test first, but with an irregular menstrual cycle, I cannot advise you when you should test.
Secondly, a gynecologist may suggest you take oral contraceptives to regulate your menstrual cycle and prevent pregnancy.
