Chances of a cryptic pregnancy? i've had two odd periods (one lighter than normal and one heavy but short), i'm 20 and have been under lots of stress
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Period variations: Sustained stress can affect ovulation, which then causes irregular hormone production and "periods" which may vary in intensity and regularity. If pregnancy is possible, obtain a serum HCG test, which is more accurate than "home pregnancy tests" to be certain.
