Stressed out?: At any age, you may experience irregular periods. With no possibility of pregnancy nor pills controlling your cycle, your periods are at the mercy of your life. Winning the lottery, getting arrested, graduating from college, car crashes, getting hired, getting fired... All of these good and bad life stressors may have an impact on your period. Don't sweat these occasional variations in your cycle.
