Yes, stress can effect your menstrual cycle.
Your menstrual cycle is all about your body preparing for pregnancy, if you are not physically healthy enough to cope with pregnancy then your body will try to delay ovulation in order to prevent pregnancy - delayed ovulation means delayed menstruation. Typically when we talk about stress effecting the menstrual cycle we're talking about stress severe enough to cause physical changes.

∙ 9y agoNo, stress cannot cause you to have your period.
Menstruation is controlled by your menstrual cycle: you ovulate and the uterine lining builds-up in preparation for possible pregnancy, if you don't conceive the uterus lining breaks down and that's menstruation. Stress can delay menstruation as if your body is under stress it will delay ovulation in order to avoid you falling pregnant at times of stress where it may not cope.
Stress will not cause you to have your period, if it did there are many of us who'd never be off our period!
