Teen Pregnancy/Missing periods

Question
Can stress make you not a period for two months and then come on? Well, I didn't have a period for two months which are March and April, but came on in May?

Answer
Dear Kiesha,

It would have to be a lot of stress to stop a period.  Many women have stressful lives but it doesn't effect their menstrual cycle.  But it does happen.

Is there anyway you could have been pregnant but then miscarried?  Miscarriage is more common than most people think.

Sometimes medication causes interference with menstruation.

Best wishes,

Deb
