I am 8 days late on my period.
I haven't had unprotected sex, but I was sick with the flu a week before I was due.
Is it possible that being sick delayed my period?

I have had cramps similar to the ones I have before I start my cycle but still no period.

I am also positve that any of the condoms did not break or split..

Yeah, odds are your period is just delayed. I actually went an entire year without my period due to stress when I was younger. Just try to relax (I know, easier said than done!) and it'll come. If it doesn't come after a while, that's when you should worry enough to take a test and/or see a doctor.

Sounds like pregnancy 2 me!
But, being sick can most definitely affect ur cycle.

U are over a week late, I would definitely take a pregnancy test at this point -- no harm done and u will know for sure!

It could either be stress, or because the seasons are changing ur cycle is changing as well. What you should do though is give it a few days. If still nothing, then get a test. I don't think the cold had anything to do with it though.

doesnt sound like you are pregnant but maybe the fact that you are stressing about it is delaying your period. if your period doesnt show in the next few days then you can try another test. it happens to me sometimes i get myself so worked up even though i know that my husband and i are careful, and then bam out of nowhere it appears. good luck

Its possible sweetie.......I was sick for 2 weeks with flu like symptoms and I loaded myself up with robitussin, theraflu, vicks, zicam.........u name it, I took it but I couldn't kick the cold. Sure enough, I'm 71/2 weeks.
You should take a test anyway just to be sure........Good Luck!!

You are probably not pregnant, but if you take an OTC test you will get results for cheaper than a doctors office visit

Yes, being sick can throw you cycle off. I suggest getting an EPT to solve your curiosity.

Give it some time...I'm sure it WAS stress. I get like that too and I just forget about it for a few days and wait it out. Good luck!
