Welcome back to EmpowHER. Like i said before, stress is a cause to delay your period. Sometimes other hormonal changes can also play a role in delaying it. If your periods are usually between the 5th and 8th, you might not still be a week late. Many women first choose a home pregnancy test (HPT), about a week after a missed period. Doctors often order these tests to confirm pregnancy as early as 10 days after a missed period. However, some of these tests can detect hCG much earlier.
