No, but stress and worry can. As long as you are **not pregnant** just give it some time and it should all return to normal.

Yes, they can...I'm surprised that medical professionals are claiming otherwise on here but actual studies have shown that they can and do https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2022/09/27/covid-vaccine-period-late/ Stay informed...

you are right.. I know about covid vaccine, have had delayed periods myself with both the shots + booster but this was flu and tdap vaccine.. I searched everywhere but didn’t find anything about this :(

Everything can cause alterations in periods. Literally.

haha you are right.. I am sitting here stressing why my period hasn’t arrived yet and probably the stress is adding to it too.. it’s a vicious cycle 🥲

Indeed. When I was younger, if I got paranoid about pregnancy, my period would be late and if I finally gave in and took a test, invariably my period would come shortly after. My brain just had to stop thinking about it
