Can exercise make your period late?

This month I have started to be a more active, to try and help my mental health. But my period is late. Therefore can exercise make your period late?
I have only been doing light exercise nothing excessive.
I am to scared to do a pregnancy test because I am worried I am just going to jinx it and my period will start. 🙈

Hi Kelsey...its a strange one because I think working out has affected my period in both ways sometimes loll... there was a time when I hadn't worked out in a year or so then went into intermediate workouts and I found it delayed my period but then I've had months where working out more in a week has made it start a day or 2 sooner... gravity working with the body doing all those weighted jumping Jack's 😂😂

i had something similar
i went from next to no exercise to excercisng pretty much every other day!

my period was then late!

i ended up googling it as i panicked myself but it seems it’s pretty normal when your going from nothing to full on!

Period late

Could I be going through menopause at 26? I missed a period 2 months ago then had one the next month this month no period yet just feeling crampy and like my periods going to come but nothing yet, sleepy as Heck! Sore breast I took a test but was negative then a couple of days later I wound up spotting for a little then it stopped thought it was my period but nothing do you guys think it’s pregnancy or menopause my hormones have been sooooo off since my 2nd daughter which was a year and a half ago they never went back normal
