Last thursday i came down with a throat infection and was quite ill, I had bad fever, light-headedness, headaches and aches and pain for about 4 days. I also had no appetite and barely ate. During this time my period was due, and it still hasnt arrived. Its now about a week late.
I have had period since I was 10 years old and they have NEVER been late, they are like clockwork. I dont think I can be pregnant because I have already had a period since the last time hubby and I had sex.
Could stress from the throat infection have affected my period

Yes, any illness can affect your periods so don't worry about it. They will return to normal when you are all better.

Stress, illness, high fever, low weight, medications, injury, etc. can upset your period.
You mentioned yourself that you were ill, had a fever, and ate little. I'm not surprised your period was off -- you really don't need to see a doctor to diagnose that one, it's pretty obvious. You may, however, want to see a doctor because you are ill.

All sorts of things can affect your period, moving house, going on holiday, being stressed or ill can all cause it to be late

Stress and illness can be a big factor in the reasons why people's periods can become irregular. It is most probably the reason why your late.

each so often stress may reason your era to be late, or omit it. merely relax. Tighten up all of your muscle tissues from head to toe, or any opposite direction round. close your eyes and picture you're on a coastline or another relaxing position.

yes. any illness can cause your period to be late, especially if it added stress to your life. also, being sick can affect the hormones in your body and prevent you from starting your period
