Most definitely, it can also make you early (me). Don't worry. If it goes on for more than a few days more, give the doc a call. Could it be that you are off a few days on your calendar? That happens to me too and I am very regular.

This is the last thing you need to worry about, so stop worrying. Worrying about that will make it even worse!

Stress can absolutely impact your cycle! Don't worry... it will be here before long.

I'm sorry

I actually planned my wedding day to coincide with my cycle (not on purpose!)

So I am hoping with all the stress leading up to the big day that my cycle will shift. God willing!

Yup - stress can totally throw you off. I have a stressful job and with the wedding - I was thrown off a bunch. And I am on the pill!

Plus, antiobiotics can make your pill less effective, so if you are on BC, that'll throw it off, too. Don't worry - you're normal!

You may not actually get it at all. I am on bc and still have months where I'm stressing and it just never comes (and have never been pg either...) I'm actually psyched when it never shows up. Just be careful when on antibiotics, it can make the pill less effective (if you're even on bc)...

Stress can absolutely do that, even if it never has before.

Yes the stress can absolutely do it.

My job is stressful and last eight years I've juggled taking care of my handicapped Dad. A LOT of stress. It reeked havoc on my cycle... I had whole years where I was completely irregular and would go a few months skipping. Yes, I saw my doctor and he did blood work and it came back neg. It is all unfortunately stress.

Yes stress can do it!!! When I was finishing up my student teaching my period was late, and I was soo freaked out that I was pregnant!! My FI was so helpful during the whole time, he even did research to find out why I was late!!

If you are sure you are not pregnant, then just keep taking the white pills when you are supposed to take your sugar pills and you won't get it at all. My gyno recommended that to me, although I should be ok on my cycle. LOTS of people do that with no problems.

Stress can definitely alter your period. But so can weight loss and changes in your diet.

If its been more than a few days it cant hurt to call your gyno and schedule appointment. Heath reasons can also change your regularity.
