Can emotional stress cause late periods?
Dear Doctors,
My periods are late by 3 days. My date was 12th April and now it's been 14th. Me and my boyfriend had sexual intercourse on 7th April and it was unprotected. I am not completely sure about sperm release but He told, that he didn't feel anything released from penis. I am also going through a lot of emotional stress because of my studies, house work, my health and all. In February I got my periods late by one day and in March I got them late by 2 days. Can you please give me some advice to deal with it?

Preejaculatory secretions also contain semen
Stress is not the reason for the delay
Go fr a pregnancy test
If negative
Wait till 19/4 as a delay of upto 7 days is considered normal
