Yes it can almost be 5 days late. I know.
Stress can not only make a woman's periods late, it can make them cease altogether. Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) is usually due to pregnancy but it can also occur when a woman is breastfeeding or is approaching menopause. In line with this question though, extreme stress can cause amenorrhea in some women. It is ironic that for some girls, worrying about whether they are pregnant can actually delay their period, which in turn makes them more worried/stressed - which delays it further - etc. - until they finally accept that they are pregnant, and then BOOM here comes Mary (an old slang term for getting a period). Not all women will actually have their periods delayed by stress, but it is common. Completely stopping menstruation because of stress is a lot less common and usually due to extreme stress. Some women athletes who are really pushing themselves put so much stress on their bodies that their periods stop. Women suffering from starvation may also have their periods delayed or stopped. Notice that in each case the term is MAY.

∙ 17y agoStress can absolutely cause you to have a late period or an abnormal one. If you are stressed about being pregnant than you may actually start to look for pregnancy signs and think you have them. What symptoms are you having? Menstrual symptoms are very close to pregnancy symptoms as well such as bloating, breast soreness, moodiness, and a higher temp. Then again, you may be pregnant and think it is stress. I have a perfect example. I am pregnant with my third child. I got my "period" the day I was due... but it was also the day my husband deployed over seas. I bled good for one day, bled lightly for the second, and then spotted brownish blood on the third (way out of the norm for me, I am a 5 day bleeder). My doctor told me it was stress. A week after this "period" I took a pregnancy test (because I know my body better than anyone else) and it came out positive.

∙ 13y agoYes, stress can delay your period. But if you're having unprotected sex that can also delay your period. So can menopause (if your close to that age.)
