Is it ok for your period to be a few days late?

Answer 1

Few women have a regular cycle that comes every 28 days. Anything from 24 days to 35 can be normal, and women with some conditions have an even longer break between periods. And on top of that, it's not really unusual for the length of the cycle to vary from one month to another.

What helps to know is if your period is late *for you.* That means you have to pay attention for a few months to know what's normal for you - as what's normal according to a book probably won't mean much to you personally.

If you're really concerned, you can get pregnancy tests over the counter that can tell you even before your period is due whether you're pregnant or not. Health clinics such as Planned Parenthood also offer free testing.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes, mine vary a lot. Mine are usually 34 days apart but I often skip whole months. I think I was 2 weeks late this month.

Answer 3

yeah but not to many days late. Maybe a day or 2

Answer 4

yes it is ok, depending on age, stress in life, sickness, a new medication, and of course pregnancy! but stay calm....monitor this for a few months and then go to your gyno and tell him what has been going on and he or she can then look into this matter, unless u had unprotected sex then you need to see a doctor NOW! good luck!

Answer 5

Yes, that's fine. A cycle can be anything from 23 to 35 days.

Answer 7

JUST NOTE THAT PERIODS ARE ABOUT 28-34 DAYS APPART, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THEY ARE NOT REALLY EXACT ON DAYS EVER. JUST DON'T WORRY OR STRESS BECAUSE THAT MIGHT AFFECT IT TOO.
