Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! Have you had late periods in the past or are your periods typically always pretty regular?
If you had sex before your most fertile days, that can help reduce the risk of pregnancy. Yes, it is very possible that the nausea you are experiencing is coming from stress or sickness from the week before. It could also be coming from concern that you are pregnant. Late periods can be caused by a variety of things such as:
stress
sleep pattern changes
diet changes
exercising more often
sickness
changes in weight
birth control
If your period has still not come in the next few days and you are concerned about pregnancy, I would take a pregnancy test to get your most accurate answer.
Also, do you take any form of birth control or do you engage in unprotected sex? Anytime you have unprotected sex it increases the risk of pregnancy.
I hope this helped! Please keep me updated and let me know if you have any other questions.
