I’ve had really bad HA for 2 months now. Convinced I have cervical cancer! So just like you. Occasional pelvic pain which I think could be stress related IBS as have loose stools every morning when my anxiety is at it’s worse. My last 2 periods have had really bad cramps (I have always had cramps but they seem worse since my anxiety has been bad) but they also seem light in that I’m not getting much blood on my pad. When I wee I get lots come out but not really heavy or any heavier than normal. Currently waiting on my smear results from last week. Hoping and praying they come back normal and my anxiety may subside a bit.
I hate doctors, terrified they are going to tell me something bad. I had a stillbirth at full term 12 years ago and I have a feeling it’s all stemmed from that, convinced I’m going to be told something bad.

Can anxiety and stress affect your periods/pain?

I’ve also come to think of it dropped 1st 8lbs in weight since January through diet and a lot of exercise. Could this be another reason for strange periods?
