Stress (Depression), and illness can cause women to miss periods. If you have been taking your pill as directed there is less than a 1% chance that you are pregnant. Take a test just to be on the safe side, and if it is indeed + you need to stop taking the pill immediately.

Yeah it happens from time to time. But to be sure, you can go to your local family planning clinic and have another test done. If you are taking any medications for your depression that could be having an effect as well. Read the information on the med carefully to see if that could be a cause. If you asre right on the money everymonth and never had an issue before dicuss it with your doctor to make sure that is not somelthing else going on. Better safe than sorry.

Yes.. you can miss a period due to stress.. Get in the bath with scented oils and a pound of rose petals from your local florist .(you'd be surprised how cheap it is) and Put your favorite music on with candles and your ipod.. Stress less honey this too will pass.

Yeah, if you are stressed, you can miss your period. Maybe you can go find someone to talk to that way you won't be as stressed or depressed. Good luck:)

yes it is normal to an extent. it depends on how old you are.i know with me when i was on the pill there were months i would go without one, and yes stress does affact you horemones and you imbalances. i would suggest giving it about a week and then call your dr. but you do what you think you should do.oh yeah if you are on and anti-depresiants it will also effect your horemones also good luck!!!

Heck yes!! I wouldn't be worried about it unless you have anymore symptoms. You can also miss a period from doing very strenuous activities if you are not used to it! You can miss a period due to any changes in your body at all!

This is normal when dealing with alot of stress and tention, also stress and tention could litterally cause your hair to fall out, be careful with that. Cast your cares upon the Lord.

stress causes your body to react in all kinds of ways, being late is one of them, take another test in a couple of days to be sure and if you are very uncomfortable call your family physician and he can give you a blood test.
