I am 24 yrs old and I have two kids and im married. three months ago I was about two weeks late starting my period,yeah it freaked me out. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative.So I thought that maybe it was trying to move to the end of the month. well the past two months has been fine it did move to the end of the month. but this month I should have started around the end of august beginning of sept. and I still haven't started. I took a pregnancy test and it said negative. so why have i not started my period yet. people keep telling me its probably stress but can stress make you completely miss your period or do I have something wrong with me. Ive been worrying myself to death about it. you know i have enough on my mind with my husband and two young children. I dont need this on top of all that. can anyone help me?

Yes stress can take your period away. Basically how it works from a nature perspective is that if you get too stressed out your body will stop you period because it does not want you to become pregnant either because you couldn't handle it right now, or because it is not good to bring a baby into a stressful situation. It's like your uterus is it's own person and it has decided it is on strike until the rest of hte body feels better.
