Why is my Period Late / Early?

Published 14 December 2020 · Updated 9 June 2026

Why your period is late or early — common causes

A late period is a one that comes eight or more days past it’s expected arrival, so you might want to hold off on making an appointment with your doctor if yours is off by a day or two.

Oftentimes women will realize they’re late and assume they’re pregnant, which is definitely a possibility if you’re sexually active (remember, birth control isn’t 100% effective, especially with user error).

 People should also factor in their stress levels, significant weight loss, and even their age, as adolescent and perimenopausal people who menstruate can both experience fluctuating cycles.
