Q: Missed period due to stress
asked by: sweetgelato on May 19th, 2008

Hi there, I was to have started my period last week but have not. There are a couple reasons that I could think of aside from jumping to the conclusion that I'm pregnant. My fiance recently left to go work in tree planting for the summer so I have very limited contact with him. As a result of this, I find I am not maintaining good, or normal, eating patters. I was wondering if this sort of stress is capable of making me miss a period.

Yes, it could. If you think you may be pregnant, take a pregnancy test. They are cheap and easy to get. They will also give you a real answer which you won't get on a website.

stress or pregnant
In September '07' I had given birth to my son by c-section right afterwards I had my tubes tied. Ever since then I've been having my menstrual every 28 days but one time I was late by 8 days. Lately I've been under a lot of stress due to personal reasons. My first day of my last menstrual period was on January 17, 2009 but I have not had my menstrual as of yet. Could I be pregnant or is it just stress? I made an appointment to see my doctor on this coming Monday, March 2 2009.
