I grow facial hair, and once I missed 6 periods. It was during a very stressful time in my life last year. I'm not overweight, and I don't have trouble losing it. Does anyone have this problem?

No, it doesn't. You need to see an endocrinologist. Get blood work done as soon as possible so that you can get a diagnosis. Stress causes an increase in cortisol, and your pituitary gland gets out of control, causing other glands to stop functioning.

I dont know much about it honestly as I am a man, However, I did find a website that tells about it. From what you said you might or might not. I'm not sure, I would see a doctor about it.
Here is the website about PCOS:

PCOS presents with irregular menstrual history and excess facial hair..however, the only way you can be diagnosed is with a good exam and labs and ultrasound. Please get professional advice.
