Answer
Hello Jessica from Canada,
Although stress can affect your cycles, it rarely causes one to miss periods. Usually, it only lengthens the cycle.
With the irregular cycles you have been having, there is a likelihood of an ovarian dysfunction. You need to be seen by a fertility specialist or gynecologist to have some hormonal testing done so that a diagnosis can be made. With this diagnosis, appropriate treatment can be given to help you get pregnant.
Sincrerely,
