Answer 2

It could mean a number of things. Menstrual cycles can often change making your period late or early. Hormon levels in your body can make your period late. Sometimes you can even miss periods entirely for no reason at all. The most likely cause of a late period if you are sexually active with one or no form of birth control or contraceptive and are of young healthy childbearing age is pregnancy.

• Late menstrual periods can be caused from stress; be health related and you should see your doctor or, possibly a pregnancy. It is nothing to be really concerned about if your menstrual period starts late as many women can have late menstrual periods on and off throughout their life span until they reach menopause when menstrual periods cease.
