Welcome to EmpowHER. If you used protection, your chances of pregnancy is less. Stress might be the cause of your delay. Sometimes we're so stressed out that our body decreases the amount of a hormone (GnRH), which causes us to not ovulate or menstruate. Depending when your period was due, you might want to wait a few days and retake a pregnancy test if you don't get your period. If it's negative, then it might be good to see your doctor.
