Can Stress Cause Delay In Menstruation?

I take Generess FE and have missed a period once on it before. Only this time, I have a boyfriend and we are sexually active. We use more than one form of protection though when we are having intercourse (my birth control, a condom, and the pull out method). I did not get my period as expected this month and took a Clear Blue pregnancy test just to be sure, 3 days after my period was supposed to start and it came back Not Pregnant , which is great! I have had a lot of stress this month between a death of a friend, a major argument with my boyfriend that lasted a few days, and an issue stemming from my summer job (I m in college). Does stress like this cause a missed period even though I m on birth control which is supposed to regulate it? The hypochondriac in me is worried that I m going through some time of premature menopause. SOS!

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
We can not talk of premature menopause when you miss your period just once.Since pregnancy has already been excluded, the most like cause of your missed period is stress.Also, a missed period while on Generess FE could just be its side effect. Just stay put, and everything will come back to normal soon.
Best regards
