A member asked:
I've heard stress can affect the menstrual cycle and make periods late. can it also have the opposite effect and make periods a couple days early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: it can. Hormonal changes due vary with stress. So it can result in delay likely but can also lead to early periods
