Am I Worring over nothing? - Women's Health Message Board

I took out my bc (nuvaring) on Sunday, and I am on continous bc, but my DR likes me to cycle every few months, so I wanted to follow his advice. I still have no signs of my period. I usually have spotting within the first 24 hours, but I have had nothing. My bf and I do not use a condom, so I am worried. I have also been under a lot of stress as of late. Could the stress be preventing my period from coming? I am starting to get freaked out... someone help me please.

Stress can cause your period to be late. A few months ago me and my bf didn't use a condom and I usually have my period like clock work. However, when it didn't come on the day it was supposed to, I began stressing out. I took a pg test and it came out negative. I got my period a couple of days later. So yes stress is one reason why you could be late.
