Q: can extreme anxiety, stress and depression (loss of loved ones) delay period and increase fsh levels for months?

: Yes, extreme stress can affect the menstrual cycle and even cause a pause in periods. However you're also entering the premenopausal years. Your gynecologist can advise you best though.
