A member asked:
Could you not get your period(like 4+ months, and on/off for 4 years) because of stress? what else could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Some women never have regular 28-30 day cycles and it is normal for them. Unusual for stress-related problems to last that long. There may be underlying thyroid or other hormonal problems. If this continues and is a problem for you, you may need to see your health provider for a workup..
