Stress: Can certainly effect your menstrual cycles. It is doubtful that you are pregnant as you had a cycle, however some women do bleed at the beginning of a pregnancy. you can always check a home pregnancy test. I suspect in your case this was due to the events with your Grandmother. I hope everything is well.
