Can sex delay periods?

Question

Iv been on the pill for two years and my periods have always been like clock work. My boyfriend and I engaged in a lot of sex right before I was supposed to start and now I'm 4 days late.  Can sex or stress cause your period to be late or should I be worried about being pregnant even though Iv religiously taken my pill?

Answer

Stress can fuck up your cycle and so can changes in your diet. When I sleep with my boyfriend while I'm on my period, it shortens it. I don't know the scientific reason behind it, but usually my cycle lasts for 5-6 days and when we have sex, it only lasts 3-4.

Answer

It can, it's also possible to get very light or no periods on the pill especially after you've been taking it for a while. Missing one month is nothing to worry about but if you miss two in a row take a test.
