Can stress precipitate an early period?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Stress can disrupt your menstrual cycle -- making it longer or shorter than usual. You could start your period "early" and not be able to predict when it would come next. Stress can even completely eliminate ovulation and menses for a time.
