Almost anything.
Stress, major and minor health issues, etc.
Stress can keep you from ovulating which will effect your cycle. Birth control pills can mess with your cycle as well.
Depends on the woman. For some, anything can change it—stress, diet, exercise, sleep changes, intercourse, caffeine intake, drug use, getting out of bed on the wrong side…
And some women you can set your watch by.
(We’re complicated.)
Sharing your living space with other women may also mess with your cycle. (Most often seen in dormitories!)
Why has no one said “pregnancy”? Too obvious? ;)
Stress, weight changes, medications, pretty much what’s been written above, I can vouch for. If you want to trigger a cycle then just plan to do something wonderful on any of the following:
Holidays
Birthdays
Vacation
Planned romantic weekend getaway
In addition to the above… being very underweight (or just very low body fat, like extreme athletes) or very overweight.
Thank you all. These things can be a bit difficult for we blokes to understand at times.
also pregnancy, a drugstore urine strip test is pretty cheap and quick
Weight loss… really? No wonder I’ve been off
Some women just have irregular cycles.
I need an answer to this question please: Why do women get their period?
@Tink1113: Can you be more specific? Are you asking why women have cyclical fertility, why blood and tissue loss loss this, or something else?
Yeah why do we have cyclical fertility
Anything. Just thinking “huh, I hope I didn’t get knocked up last night” can make my period go into hiding, leading to stress, which makes it delayed. The stress leads to weight gain or loss, which makes it delayed…
@nikipedia gave a great answer.
Small, noisy, demanding ones that smell bad at both ends.
