Hi mommyof3,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER.
Stress can have an affect on your menstrual cycle. Other changes that can affect it include sickness, poor nutrition, excessive exercise, and medications. It may be a good idea to call your gynecologist or family doctor's office and explain to them what's happening so they can recommend how to proceed.
It's possible you may have ovarian cysts, or something similar that's causing your cycles to be disrupted, or it could be stress like you said. Doctors typically want to see you if you haven't had a period for 90days, but if you are concerned, don't be shy about calling sooner to find out what could be going on.
Here is an article that may be beneficial to help you advocate for your health with your doctor: No Cycle or Missed Cycle, What Can it Mean?
Good luck and let us know what you find out.
