i work as a call center agent and i work at night. For several months, my periods comes on my expected dates except this month.i am delayed for 8 days now. This past few days, maybe 2weeks ago, i had irregular sleeping patterns and my maximum number of hours of sleep is around 5 hours only and most of the time i only get to sleep for 3-4 hours.
Im just wondering if stress or lacking of sleep could cause menstrual delay? or am i pregnant?
Actually stress and lack of sleep definitely can cause a delay. However, so can pregnancy ;-)
There's really only one way to find out which it is and that's by testing.
Hope it goes the way you want it to!
It could be either. It doesn't sound as if you are trying to get pregnant, though. Otherwise, you would have likely tested at one day late. I hope it is the result that you want. I would take a test and see.
