Stress is probably the number one cause of irregular periods. However, assuming your age is 50, you very well could be in the early stages of menopause. Most women women start to experience symptoms as early as 40 years. If you have any doubts or are worried about menopause, talk with a doctor. As far as HRT's go, your doctor should be able to tell you if you need them. They may not even be right for you. In the meantime, relax, take a luxurious hot bath with lots of bubbles and slow down. Let your brain unwind. Talk to your doctor or gynocologist. They are there to help. Best of luck to you

You are obviously stressing about it. Stress can delay your period.

Sounds like perimenopause, the runup to actually going thru the no-periods change. I'm in the same boat! Try snakeroot (Eleuterococcus) and soy isoflavons to help with the sweats and mood swings, they really do help a lot.\nNot much fun, esp. on those days that you can burst in to tears if someone just looks at you. Speak to your gynae soonest. The younger you start your periods, the younger you stop. I started this at about your age...not pleasant. Best of luck.

Women are more emotional than men are...for the most part.  Plus alot of it is hormonal. Our cycles change several times in the matter of a month. And what do you mean I am moody?!!!  lmto! :op~~

im agreeing with the above posters..see a dr ASAP. could be endometriosis,cervical cancer, or a simple hormone imbalance.\n\ntake vitamins now too, your blood-iron may be low..but dont over-do...just 1 multivitamin a day.\n\nalso start a clensing diet to help body repair itself from the stress.  \n\nwishing u well =)

When the same thing happened to me, I was terrified that it was caused by some serious illness.  When I finally got the nerve to go to the doctor, I found out that it was just a hormonal thing related to perimenopause (which can happen in your 40's).  It could also be due to fibroids, which are benign tumors that can be treated fairly easily.  The best thing to do is to go to a doctor.  Better safe than sorry.

Everybody's body is different.\n\nI went to the doctor's recently regarding period issues (I get mine more often than others) and she said that every lady is different.\n\nShe also said that stress can affect it.

Is this a 'wish' or is this happening to you? There is such a thing as early onset menopause, so that could be the problem. Sure you aren't pregnant? Hormone replacement and birth control can cause this too.

Menopause can happen anywhere between your 40's to the 60's.  Most likely you are going thru pre-menopause, which can start as early as 30.  That's the hot flashes and night sweats and all that.  If by chance you are experiencing those sypmtoms of pre menopause, and you are having a hard time handling it, try some herbal remedies.  I've heard black cohosh really helps with hot flashes.

If the doctor says dont worry I would believe him.  You may be having a very extended menopause

It can be caused by stress.  even if you don't think you are stressed there could be something that is bothering you just enough to screw up your cycle!  Also age....When I was younger my cycles were so heavy, but now that I am almost 30 it has started to slow down.

Stress has alot to do with missing ur period...ur "stressing" too much about it...just relax

If it is actually due to menopause symptoms, soy and black cohosh are supposed to be helpful.  Without knowing your menstrual history, still having problematic hot flashes after sixty seems as if the symptoms may have lasted a long time.  This combined with your statement that HRT did not help, makes me wonder whether the cause is not something else.  Have you considered consulting an endocrinologist?

Stress and weight changes can cause you to skip periods every once in a while. See your doctor if you think it's something else.
