Delayed periods due to stress?

I am 26yrs old and definitely not pregnant.My monthly cycle is 25-26 days.I had my periods on October 20th and expected the next one on November 15th.My dad passed away on November 2nd.It was sudden and shocking and I am greatly stressed out.I am 10 days late for my periods now and still waiting.I understand that stress could delay periods.How long should I wait before I see a doctor or is there any safe way to induce it?(I tried papaya,dates and Sesame seeds but in vain)I have been very regular and never missed it from the time of puberty.I have never ever had the need to take any pills to delay or advance periods or take any birth control. Please advise.

i have the same problem.. all of the sudden my periods went all crazy and my gyno tells me that it is due to stress.. she gave some birth control andd then she prescribed me some hormones pills.. but still they don’t work!! but now they blame everything for stress… so i don’t know.. you should wait at least a month and then go with your gyno
