Hi,
I believe i've been missing my period for the last 2 months. I dont remember getting one in december and january is almost passed so I am sort of freaking out. I dont know what is wrong with me. I took two home pregnancy tests and I know that i'm not pregnant theres no possible way I am. I have been getting light cramps in my lower abdomen ranging about a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in pain. I had a cold that started in mid december and have been really stressed out with my job lately. So my question's if it is or is not possible to have skipped two periods from stress and a upper respiratory's medications such as mucinex. I just want to be sure this is something minor. I read on the internet about polycystic ovarian disease and dont have coverage just yet. I'm really scared please help.

Mucinex will not stop your period. In fact, I don't know of any medication that will - other than hormonal medication (birth control pills). If you know there is no possible way you could be pregnant, then it isn't that. Stress can cause you to miss your period. Weight loss. No ovulation can prevent you from having your period.

Don't think of the worst possible situation first - think of the easy things (not that stress is easy).

Go see your doctor as soon as you get coverage.
