Since the hormonal household is affected by stress, antibiotics and what not. What happens to the menstruation when it is „late“ but not pregnant? Is there more tissue in the uterus lining? Stronger flow? What happens in the body?
In: Biology
Generally, stressors can delay ovulation, but once ovulation has occurred mensuration typically follows about two weeks later no matter what.
As to how various stressors prevent ovulation, it depends! Significant long-term nutritional stress can impact hormonal signalling (and overall estrogen production), mental/emotional stress may be able to delay the estrogen surge associated with ovulation, etc.
I’m not sure if I’ve addressed your question, but I absolutely agree with other posters that if your cycle is late, you should take a pregnancy test just in case!
