Does veganism make your period late?

Question

So, about 2 weeks ago I decided to try veganism. It only lasted about a week because I live in a meat loving family... but anyway, I was suppose to get my period 10 days ago. While I am sexually active, I am safe. Plus, I have been stressed with work and school. So does veganism have anything to do with this? Have any of you ladies ever missed a period because you are vegan??

Answer

No but stress can

Answer

A nutritionally balanced, vegan diet shouldn't negatively affect your cycle. Malnutrition, however, certain can, so maybe examine your diet and/or talk to a dietitian to make sure you're getting what you need.
Lots of other things can make your period late though, a common one is stress or - of course - pregnancy. Even with safe sex, accidents can happen, so if your period is still missing you may want to consider a pregnancy test.
If neither of those things are the cause and you're concerned about it, you should talk to your doctor.
