Can your period be messed up if your under stress?

Yes, this has happened to me alot in the past. I have even missed periods completely. Birth Control pills can help to regulate it. And (BONUS) they also help to reduce cramping. Lowering my caffiene intake helped alot too.

Stress 2-3 weeks before your period is due can cause a delay in ovulation.  Since ovulation is what causes your period, this makes your period come later than you expect it to (although *right on time* because it's caused by ovulation).\n\nHowever, if you are a teenager or even in your early 20s, it can be normal to have irregular cycles sometimes.

no it should not mess up your period.  Your period should come on time no matter what or how much you have sex.  sometimes periods can be a day late or two from stress, but anymore than 3 or 4 days and honey.. it's time to take a pregnancy test. (they sell them at dollar stores so don't pay a lot) \n\ngood luck either way.  always practice SAFE sex and use condoms.

I have been on Seasonalle for about a year and i usually get my period a few days into the white pills.  It's normal.  Plus the fact that your body is still adjusting to pills.  Another thing to consider is that stressing over being pregnant could keep your period from coming.  If it would put your mind at ease, take a home pregnancy test.  I bet you will have your period very soon.  :-)

In most cases women who haven't had their period (not b/c of pregnancy) are usually just stressed out. It should come naturally. In the mean time just try to relax and do things that make you feel good. Good luck!

As people have said before, stress but what hasn't been mentioned is that weight loss can do the same. I recently lost quite a bit of weight and until I gained it back my period came every other month. If this continues on to your next period its a good sign that you have lost too much weight and is your body's way of saying you have to gain it back. Whether stress, weight loss, or something else, good luck!

this isn't normal unless you have just started having your first period. when you start having your period it may have an uneven schedule. check with your doctor if you are unsure.

Some medications, stress, and other things can mess up your cycle. You could be iron deficient and have a low blood count.

I agree. I don't think anesthesia alone will effect your hormones. But the stress of any surgery can cause your period to come around alot faster than normal. \nBe good to yourself and drink lots of water to flush out all that anesthesia.

It is perfectly normal to have irregular periods.  If you have alot of stress it happens, or if you exercise too much, or don't eat properly, or you can be perfectly healthy and its genetic.  Ask your mom if she was that way.  It is slightly possible it is problem like cysts so you should definately talk to your doctor.  She'll be able to figure out if it is a problem or if it is natural for you.  If it really bothers you, you can go on the Pill, which will make your periods lighter and as regular as clockwork (I literally get mine at 9am on the Wednesday they are due!)  So, there's nothing much to worry about since you are young, but talk to your doctor and go on the Pill if it bothers you alot.

it happens to many women. sometimes we have irregular months, caused by bad nutrition, stress, or maybe even nothing.\nif it bleeds for a couple days, you are fine. if it lasts longer, or if it keeps happening, then that could be bad.\n\ni would say just relax and enjoy your thanksgiving, it's really nothing :)

Stress can really make a woman's body react. Or sometimes if women are really active, like a runner or another fast paced sport could stop a period. Age as well. It could be nothing, but to be sure, you should see your gyno and let them know so they can do a few tests. It's better to know. Then you're stress level will go down and all will be ok :)

Serious mood swings happen to women.  Hormones fluctuate, and it effects everything from mood to how our bodies feel.  Yes, it does have to do with the women's mensrual cycle, though don't ever bring that up.  Different hormones do different things to our bodies at different times of the month.  And it gets really frustrating.  We can go from being in a good mood to wanting to cry in just a minute.  Of course, all women are different.  This effects women on different levels.  It's worse for some than others.  \nWhen a girl is going through this, remember that she can't help it.  You need to be extra nice and respectful of her, and don't make fun of her.  For most girls, don't mention PMS or anything.  We don't really want the world knowing what our bodies are doing.  Just be really nice to her, and don't take offence if it backfires.  Hope this helps!

Yes- there are numerous factors that can cause a period to be late, and stress is one of them.  Other causes can be medication, hormonal imbalance, and infection amongst other reasons.  2 weeks after a missed period is the best time to be tested, and a blood test is so much more accurate so in 2 weeks time see your doctor.

It's normal! It has to do with your hormones and your cycle. Sex during your period can even reduce cramps. If you can't stand the mess, try having sex in the shower or throwing down a towel on the bed and then shower and just throw the towel in the laundry right after. Remember, you can still get pregnant or STI's while on your period, so if you're not on the pill with a trusted monogamous partner, use condoms!

No, your period is determined by the natural fluctuations in your hormones.  Masturbation doesn't have anything to do with how your body regulates itself.  Things that can cause a person to miss a period might be pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormone deficiencies, extreme exercise, anorexia/bulimia, large weight fluctuations, or severe stress.  If you've missed a period and you're not sexually active, you should probably talk to your doctor, especially if you have been overly tired.  A doctor can do a simple blood test to check for pregnancy and hormone imbalances.

Yes. Any ill health, physical, emotional or psychological stress can cause menstrual irregularities.
