Can you delay your period by worrying?

No, you cannot delay AF with worrying. The only thing you can delay is ovulation. Once that has happened, AF is inevitable!
Worrying about a late period may only delay it.
This myth is often perpetuated by the most well-meaning friends. But the reason it's not true is that stress does not delay one's menstrual period; it can only delay ovulation.
Once ovulation has occurred, the woman's body has already determined when she will menstruate. In other words, the time from ovulation to menstruation varies little from cycle to cycle.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
