hi..i've posted a few questions on here as past 10 days or so and the replies have been great - thanks.
My wife and I have been trying for a child and her period is now 5 days late but the two hpt have so far been negative - some people here have said that stress can delay a period...now does that mean that ovulation is delayed or does it mean that the actual period itself is just delayed and ovulation has already occurred? if that makes sense!

I have heard that just wanting a pregnancy bad enough can make your period not come as if you were pregnant when you aren't, powers of the mind. But when I was pregnant I got 3 false negatives. About 2 weeks after my missed period I got a positive, so its a distinct possibility she's pregnant! I had to switch brands all together to get that positve too. Started with First Response, ended up buying EPT and it worked. Good luck.

I think the actual period can be delayed, but it will also depend on when she was stressed the most. It's amazing what stress can do to the body. Because it's almost a week late, I would advise you to ask her to get a blood pregnancy test to be sure she's not pregnant. If you going to stress, you might as well stress about one thing and not several! Good luck!

It could just be too early for the test to be positive, but more than just stress can contribute to a late period. Drastic changes in diet, extreme exercise and stress can all lead to a late or missing period. I would assume it would mess up your ovulation cycle as well, which is why the period stops occuring or comes later than usual. It is your body's way of saying things are out of whack. good luck!

You might want to make an appointment to have a blood test taken since it is more accurate than the home pregnancy test and yes stress can make a woman's period late.Good Luck! Congratulations if she is pregnant!
