Weird Periods...help!?

Question

I am the mother of 3 kids. My periods have basically always been normal...between 28-30 days apart, lasting for 3-4 days. But for the last 4-5 months it has been screwed up. I skipped my period in May...and from then on my periods have been 6-7 weeks apart and very light flow. I keep thinking maybe it's just stress...but I havent really been under anymore stress or anything than normal...I am so confused. I am going to the doc this coming week if I don't get my period by monday...it's been just over 6 weeks since. ANyone have similar symptoms that might know whats up?

Sometimes a problem with the thyroid can cause periods to be irregular.
