stress causing missed periods?
| Thu, 12-11-2003 - 1:29pm |
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with stress causing missed periods? I am on the pill so my period is extremely regular (last pill on Saturday, period from Tues-Thurs). Well, in October I completely missed my period. Took 3 HPT and they all came back negative, the one in October was VERY light -one day, and I just missed another one. I have never had this happen before. I just recently had a yearly exam and everything came back fine, but I'm confused. My H and I have been going through some marriage problems since May and I'm just wondering if this can be causing my missed periods? I'm only 31 and have no history of early menopause in my family. Is there something else I should be looking at?
Thanks,
K

Hmmm, two missed periods.
