Many things can cause irregularity. Stress and anxiety can often cause irregular periods. Cortisol, the stress hormone, has a direct impact on how much estrogen and progesterone (sex hormones) get produced by the body. If you have too much cortisol in your bloodstream, the time and flow of your cycle could change. Other factors can be a sudden lifestyle change, sudden and excessive weight loss or weight gain, over-exercising, certain medication or illness. Many times it's a hormonal imbalance which your doctor can diagnose.
