Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for coming to us with your concern about a late period.
Pregnancy would only be the likely reason for a 5 day late period if you had unprotected sexual intercourse since your last period.
Other factors, such as high stress levels, illness line having the flu, excessive weight gain or weight loss and a marked increase in physical exercise can delay the start of your period.
Regards,
