Can stress delay your period?!


Question: Because I haven't had a period in 2 months. And I know I'm not pregnant, because I have never had sex. But, I have been under a load of stress from different things. So I'm curious.

The menstrual cycle results from a sequence of hormonal activity involving the brain, pituitary gland, ovaries, and uterus. Despite many opportunities for disruption, the cycle is remarkably consistent in most women from month to month.

Emotional and physical stress can affect the menstrual cycle and delay the period. Stress decreases hormone signals originating in the brain. This results in the failure of the ovary to release an egg. This causes an imbalance in the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone. The period may be delayed for a few days to a few weeks and may be heavy when it does occur.

Several other conditions, most notably pregnancy, can also delay the period. It should not be assumed that stress is the cause without first checking a pregnancy test and consulting a health professional.

Stress is the most common reason for a period to be missed. If you have not had a period in more than three months, you need to see a doctor.

yes, it can. It will come in time. :)

Yes, stress can make your cycle irregular...but two months is a long time. You should probably make an appointment with your OBGYN.

It certainly can! I heard lot's of stories from my friends who missedd their period during exam season in college or when they were having "issues" with their boyfriends.
Check out this link I found on this great website:

They list "severe emotional stress as one of the things that can delay your period.
If it continues, you should probably see your doctor

Yes, stress can definitely postpone a period. Try to drink a lot of water, eat right and exercise. That can help relieve stress.
