HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The menstrual cycle can sometimes be altered by physical illness or stress.

If you are currently fighting an infection then, it is possible that the illness is reason for your period delay.

If you are sexually active, it would also be important to rule out pregnancy.

The other causes of a delay in the period are: emotional stress, abnormal levels of thyroid hormone, high levels of a hormone called prolactin, extreme physical activity, polycystic ovarian sydrome.

I hope this helps
