Stress (cortisol) can affect menstrual patterns as well as other causes including Medical conditions, medications, and hormones. Tracking your periods with a smartphone app is an easy tool. A pregnancy test is considered during unprotected intercourse

Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor.
