A member asked:
Can stress cause spotting instead of your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : But take the appropriate precautions and check a pregnancy test. If pattern persists, see your OB doc. If it is then felt to be due to stress, ask for a referral to a psychologist for therapy to help you deal with your stress.
