A member asked:
Hi. my period arrived 2 weeks early, was light and almost stopped then became very heavy. im stressed and haven't been eating alot. is it connected?

Possibly: Stress can dysregulate hypothalamic hormones, resulting in changes in your menstrual cycle. Periods can be longer or shorter than normal, or may even cease entirely for a time. Food restriction can certainly play a part. Are you on birth control pills, or have you used Plan B recently? This can change your menstrual cycle also. If this continues, do consult your physician.
