Is there any reason, for a sexually inactive person, for their menstrual cycle to be late?

Yes, I'm about a week late in my menstrual cycle. I'm not sexually active, and I had a cold about a week or two ago. I have had considerable stress; friends moving away, relationship issues, finals, etc. Although, my mother and friends teased me about being pregnant, and I tend t ojump to really bad conclusions in a panic, and this is one of them. Any reason that my period might be late and anything to calm a frantic mind?

Stress, hormones, not eating enough, not drinking enough, your cold that you had, swimming a lot...there are SOOO many different reasons why your period can come later. First, you're not pregnant so there is no reason to stress as bad as you are. Unless you have ever stressed out about your period being late because you think your pregnant, then you are just fine.

I think it's because of your nerves and the stress. Stress has a big play in why you period is late. Your period is linked to you emotions.
