I don't know if it could make it later or not but lacking nutrients can. During your period you also lose more iron. You should start eating meat again. If that's not an option then see your doctor and they will do a blood test and possibly prescribe vitamins. (Don't take vitamins without a doctor because they're not regulated by the FDA).



If your period is five weeks late it wouldn't be a bad idea to see a doctor anyway.I'm vegetarian and low on iron all the time could that be why my period is so late ?
Yes, it may be. You need to eat iron-rich foods and maybe take a supplement. Have a look at this website, which gives a list of foods. Just scroll down past the meat section:
