A member asked:
Can stress interfere with periods? im due in 6 days but started spotting dark pink or light red today? no chance of pregnancy. im also on antibiotic
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Stress can interfer with periods.Also,Some antibiotics hinder oestrogen production, and if this is too low then your body doesn't produce the hormones that stimulate your ovaries to release an egg, meaning no period – or a very delayed one.Also antibiotics can make birth control pills less reliable.
