Is there anything else that could delay my
period for more than two weeks?
Like an STD or any illness?
Thanks

Stress, hormone imbalance, pregnancy. STDs
do not necessarily delay your period. Do
you have any unusual vaginal discharge and
odor? STDs are usually accompanied by
both. Do a pregnancy test.

well see the weird things is that i've
tested 2 times and recently was like 3 or
4 days ago and they were both negative. I
have no unusual discharge in any way. i
figured it was stress but it has never
effected my period this way. i had
spotting that really only showed when i
wiped and it was a dark brown color and
lasted a few days.
I'm so confused.
my bf and i had unprotected sex the day
before my last period(January 9-14). but
no positive test yet.

Stress can absolutely cause your period to
be late. The dark, brown spotting was most
likely old blood. Blood will darken and
brown when it is old and has been sitting
in the body.
You can try another pregnancy test. HCG
(human chorianic gondotropin) is the
hormone that pregnancy tests check for. If
the level is low the test will come back
negative. It should show by this time. If
the test is negative, relax and don't
dwell on this. When you relax about it
your period will probably start. If not,
go to your gyn. Hope this helps.
