A member asked:

My last period was on 2/6. before then it was mid-december. i also have anxiety. could anxiety mess with my cycle? all i've felt was cramping.

Yes it can: Yes anxiety can cause loss of menstruation.But you should first rule out pregnancy if you are having unprotected sex.And it may be a good idea to consult your Gynecologist to rule out other causes of missed periods
