Hi Surface456,
According to the staff of the Mayo Clinic, "Mental stress can temporarily alter the functioning of your hypothalamus — an area of your brain that controls the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle. Ovulation and menstruation may stop as a result. Regular menstrual periods usually resume after your stress decreases."
If your girlfriend has one or more missed periods and has a negative pregnancy test result, she should make an appointment to be evaluated by a gynecologist, especially with a family history of reproductive health problems.
