Anyone ever had their period go away due to stress?

I haven't skipped a period because of stress, but it's definitely messed with my cycle. The one time I remember distinctly it shortened the time between periods a lot and made it much heavier (my periods are usually pretty light). When I asked my doctor about it he said it was just stress, and it's 3+ years later and I'm totally fine, and my cycle's back to normal

If so, it's been so long that I don't remember because I've not had actual periods (besides very, very light ones) in about 7 years. I have had a full period for a few days randomly, but it's rare. I still get all the horrible symptoms like mad, but not an actual menstrual cycle. I have endometriosis and am on an injection to help prevent the endometrial growth, and the injection stops my periods. Thank Jesus! Lol. I call my periods a curse, they are so bad. With a lot of extra care, the injection, pain meds and a lot of aloe vera, I have actually begun to be able to leave the house while on my period these days. Used to, I was stuck in bed for a couple weeks, but it's much better now.

However, yes, you can absolutely make your period late by stressing. It's common. It can be late for many different reasons though. Is the rest of your health in good shape? If so, you probably don't have a lot to worry with. Just try to cut down on the stress.

What are you doing to lower your stress levels? There are lots of things that will help, but it varies depending on the person and why you're stressing. I'd start with taking a big day off and doing something totally fun. Works a lot when I'm freaking. My school was threatening to cut me due to missing my last payment and I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Plus some really nasty problems with a family member. This week was no stress week for me. I got my payment in yesterday and took a day to shop today--fruitless thanks to my deformed boobs making it hard to find a decent damn bra--but destressing nonetheless! Lol. Just really try to let loose and have fun for a night or two. It helps.

Oh yes. I once missed my period for a few months while I was in a "dark night of the soul." During that time my womb spontaneously ejected my IUD and stopped menstruating completely for three or four months. As my time of emotional turmoil decreased in intensity, my period came creeping back and then stabilized. It has been regular since then-- more regular than ever before. When feeling back to that time, I know my body simply had other priorities than procreation. I feel like it was a "reset" in many ways for my reproductive system and my cycle.

No, though it used to be very irregular until I got on the pill. I have never had it go away from stress.
