I'm actually starting to get worried. My periods are always either right on time or a day early or late. Never a week. And I'm only 14. I know that stress might have something to do with it. But I have not had cramps, any little blood spots, or anything. I know this is silly, but I'm scared. I don't know of what, just that I am scared.

it could be from stress or it could be that you have recently lost or gained some weight. if you are not sexually active then you don't have to worry about being pregnant. if it continues though you need to go to a obgyn it could be something that needs attention

Irregular menstrual cycles
The menstrual cycle is a very sensitive thing and can become irregular for a number of reasons. For tips on regulating your cycle go to irregular cycle remedies
Please note that the following information applies to natural cycles - that is, if you are not taking the Pill or other hormonal contraception. Whilst some of the following factors can affect a Pill cycle, it is not always so.
Stress
New cycle , that is the irregularity experienced by some young girls at the onset of the periods. Their cycle can be irregular for months or years whilst it is establishing itself.
Dietary problems , eg anorexia, bulimia or simply poor diet
Too much exercise
Drugs - prescription and recreational
Break in routine
Thoughts and emotions
Sexual activity - especially when it is a new occurrence
Anxiety about pregnancy
Illness or physiological imbalance eg thyroid conditions

If you are only 14, your periods could sometimes be irregular. See your doctor if it goes on for another week, and as long as you didn't have sex (which I certainly hope that you did not), you aren't pregnant or anything. Don't worry, I was like nine days late once and it was the worst period of my life once I got it. The pain certainly compensated for the delay. Good luck.

It's not a big deal. The same thing happened to me when I first got my period. It was on time every month until one where it was very late. If you are concerned talk to a family member or a doctor. Everything should be okay.

Have you been sexually active? If so, take a hpt and if it comes back positive, then talk to your parents...quick. If you haven't had sex in the past month then don't worry too much. For a girl your age, it's normal to be late... and have nothing wrong.
Good luck!

You should deffinately try to relax..Sometimes your period can vary just because it wants to. If you have lost weight or gained it will effect it also .If you really think there is a problem you should get a pregnancy test.

If you had sex you could be pregnant. If you haven't your more then likely not. Sometimes if you do not eat right or over stress about things it can cause you to have abnormal menses.

"Naughty" ..Well Good luck and im sure you'll be just fine.
