Late AF due to stress?

[mgm]

I've heard that sometimes ovulation (and AF correspondingly) can be delayed due to stress. Has anyone experienced this? What type of stress would cause this?

The reason I'm asking - I hurt myself and had to get a few stitches around time that I normally ovulate. Now, AF is 3 days late. Normally my cycles are very regular, so I will keep taking pregnancy tests - so far only three BFNs with FRER

More background - normally I use OPK, but didn't this cycle.

Not sure if anyone else was wondering about late AF after stress - an update:

AF came today, so apparently the stress of travel/stitches is enough to delay AF 4 four days for me!

I has assumed I ovulated on the day of EWCM - but apparently not so...must have been 4-5 days later!

Did you take any pain meds? I know Tylenol can delay O.

I have had this happen to me before.

This has happened to me as well.
