Delayed periods
My periods are late by 8 days, and my pregnancy test is negative. We also used protection. I've been very stressed for the past 2 months, and I was on antidepressants last month. Can this cause delayed periods? Should I repeat a pregnancy test?

Stress can delay your periods for some time. Wait for 5 days and meanwhile start with measures to relieve stress and depression. If after 5 days periods do not come consult a Gynecologist directly as it may need further evaluation
