my period is late by a week

i’m 18 female.
i’ve never had sex so i can’t possibly be pregnant.
my periods within the last 3/4 months have been pretty regular.
3rd april
5th may
4th june
however i haven’t had my period this month and i’m stressing out majorly and it’s 13th July.
i don’t have a tracker to show how long my period lasts, i just write down on my calendar when my period begins each month.
i haven’t been taking any new medication - though i did start using azelaic acid topically for my acne.

i go on holiday abroad on the 17th and it’s a resort with pools and beach and usually i swim every day and i don’t want to be on my period on holiday!!!!
what do i do!!

don’t worry sometimes it’s just your hormones or stress etc. don’t bother worrying until it’s been a month delayed because then it could be more concerning. my periods are irregular sometimes they might come on the 5th and sometimes they might come on the 20th. I used to have regular cycles like you too. It all changes with various factors in your life.
