The most common causes for your period to be late are: stress, pregnancy, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), peri-menopause, menopause, recently stopping hormonal birth control and thyroid conditions.
The amount of time your period can be late varies depending on your normal cycle length.
If you cycles are usually regular, a delay of more than a few days may signal something is out of balance, whereas if you commonly experience irregular cycles (such as in PCOS) it may be normal for your periods to arrive late.
While pregnancy is the most common cause for missed periods, there are many other reasons your period may not be on time this month.
One big contributor is stress as this can both delay and halt ovulation, which in turn makes your period late or disappear.
Ongoing, chronic stress (like that low-grade stress caused by deadlines at work) can cause a ripple effect to the delicate balance of your reproductive hormones which are responsible for keeping your cycles regular and symptom-free.
Stress can lead to changes in the length of your period, as well as a whole host of other hormonal symptoms like PMS, painful periods, acne breakouts and fatigue.

Hi for almost 3 months if not more, I have not seen my period and I am worried, I am a minor so going to the doctor for help seems a little impossible, and it’s embarrassing to tell my mum.
I am 100% sure I am not pregnant and I am not over/underweight but the days keep getting longer and my anxiety builds up.
What do I do? I’m scared.
Hi Swetha,
I’m so glad to hear seed cycling has been helpful for you :)
It’s hard to say for sure if these extra supplements have caused your period changes. I’d say if your period continues to be scanty, try stopping these supplements (flaxseed oil and licorice) and see if your period flow changes again.
There shouldn’t be any adverse effect of taking magnesium with normal levels. If you think you need magnesium, then it should be fine to take. You will usually see adverse effects from taking too high doses.

Hi Tam,
Your work has helped me a lot, the seed cycling did a lot of good for me. My periods were on time, but I added extra supplements flax seed oil,licorice after which my periods have become scanty. Could this be a reason for that?
My magnesium levels levels are normal, if I take magnesium biglycinate will it have an adverse effect
