Time will tell. Relax. It will be what it will be. My hubby and I have been trying for two years and we are having fun just trying. Have fun. Relax and know that it will be what it will be.

It's always possible... but there are dozens of things that can cause 1 or more missed periods for months on end, much less a week or two late. Here's the short list

- Stress
- Dieting
- Malnutrition
- Exercise
- Hormonal imbalance (from birth control pills to your own glands being off)
- 'Alpha' female (women around other women will 'reset' their periods to match the 'alpha' female's cycle, throwing other women off to either a constant period for a month, or skipping 1-2 months)
- Illness
- Disease
- Exposure to certain chemicals
- Chemical pregnancy, hasn't shed yet
- Wishful thinking (literally... when some women WANT to be pregnant, their body acts as if they are, effectively sterilizing them until their body gets convinced it's no longer pregnant)

The list goes on.

See a doctor. They're the only ones who can figure out what's up.

It's possible, but it's equally possible that you aren't. I would call your doctor and schedule a blood test, it's really the only way to know for sure.

I understand the frustration of trying to conceive and I wish you the best of luck!

Go ahead and make an appointment with doc, I took tests that came back negative (even at the Navel hospital), when I was actually 3 months pregnant.

Could be. Stress and emptions can delay periods, I pray you are, but if not, relax and you and your husband just enjoy each other and it wii happen. J.

Of course it's possible, but the best way to know for sure is to have your doctor do a blood test. Good luck!!

THere was a time when women had to wait until they missed 2 periods at least. Take care of yourself, eat plenty of fresh fruits and drink milk, get that calcium.
It is possible but fretting about it nonstop is not good for you or the baby you may be carrying.

I sure hope so! But stress can effect your period. 11 days late is enough time in my opinion to seek a Dr's opinion, call for a blood test.
