Stress affects the hormones in your body. Many women find that if they are worried about something, it delay menstruation. In some cases, a woman's period might actually stop if she is very worried about whether she is pregnant [or anything really]

Yes, the period can be delayed by stress and anxiety. Stress in particular whether it is something good or bad that is causing the stress. I've had it happen to me a few times.

yes as hormones are a fine balanced thing and anything that upsets the balance can delay your period.
Its normally the second half of the cycle that gets delayed - the ovulation of the egg - the first stage the folicular stage is normally consistant.

Yes it can, if you have been stressed or to happy, it can be delayed. This is normal and it has happened to me before. It took me two months to come on becasue I was stressed.

Yes I have had my cycle change because of massive stress (moving to a new city). It can happen. Just make sure it's not pregnancy for sure - that will really mess everything up.

Absolutely! Absolutely. It depends if you are on any type of birth control or not also. Yes. Stress and anxiety can cause a whole host of medical problems, yours included. Good luck and go see the doctor. ((((Sheri))))
