Women Only! - Menstrual Cycle

[Mya]

Sorry if this has been posted but have any of you ladies developed irregular menstrual cycles since experiencing panic/anxiety? Surprisingly I haven't but my period is about 3 - 4 days apart sometimes but my doctor tells me this is not irregular. I only skipped one time in my life and that was last year when my father almost died and I saw how extreme stress did it. I am always stressed and anxious but thank goodness I am still getting my periods. Also, since developing my anxiety issues I DO notice it is even worse though right before my period. I feel like my PMS has gotten worse from this! Anyone else in the same boat and just curious if anyone has had menstrual disruptions from their panic/anxiety??

Hi, my periods used to be on the dot but since having anxiety mine are a few days here or there from my due date. Im not worried about it though. Got plenty of other things to keep my anxiety levels high. Grrrr.

I've been a little worried about this too, I always used to go 32 days. But now my periods can be a few days early or late.
I've just started mine now, i was meant to start on Thurday but came on Saturday night instead.
I have panic an anxiety every day, and usually have a panic attack but not sure if my cycle is affected by this.
I haven't missed 1 yet though x

Thanks ladies for your replies! Sounds like we are all pretty much the same when it comes to Aunt Flow

Mine too are a few days apart but thank goodness (knock on wood) they haven't disappeared! I will say though that I am a psycho woman now during PMS. Always had PMS but now it is way worse since anxiety started for me.

Thanks for reassuring me! xx
