Hello,
I have always had a pretty regular period and I have recently started to have sex. I did have a pregnancy scare when we first had sex, but it had been mostly due to stress because I'm applying to college and was scared of getting pregnant. It was delayed 2 week, but it came. We had sex twice after again and once again, my period has been delayed by a couple days. Now, I haven't had sex all month and once again, my period is late. Is being sexually active affecting my menstrual cycle?
Thank you.

Re: Sex and Periods
Hello, Chica. Welcome to Scarleteen.
There are a lot of reasons why periods can change. Being sexually active is not one of them but stress and changes in your routine -- such as lack of sleeping, changes in diets, etc -- are. Bodies are not machines so they won't always act and react the same way.
