stress and delayed period Posted: 06-27-08 10:48am
I have a lot of exams, projects and strees
during last 2 months, and also some
problems with my family and my boyfriend,
I used to have 28 days for a cycle, but
last month it became 23 days, and this
month it has been 31 days that menstrual
period does not happen. during last 2
weeks I was under loud of stress and
didn't sleep for several days (around 5
days during this 2 weeks) and for sure I
didn't have sex, can help me to know
what's going on?

you probably are just stressed...i
remember one month in particular I HAD
been sexually active w my bf, my periods
are normally irregular anyway but not that
irregular...due to the TONS of stress i
was under during that month(nearly had a
breakdown) my period was TEN days later
than expected...I was nervous as
all...even though I always use
protection..that was a looooong ten
days...if you are worried about pregnancy
just take a test to ease your mind, but I
do believe stress can be a factor in some
people....maybe you can look into going on
birth control so it will be more
regular...its definitely helped me, and
actually knowing when to expect it is a
nice change
