Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Stress, sudden weight disturbances, infections, polycystic ovaries and certain medications can cause disturbances in the menstrual cycle. Stress seems to be the main culprit in your case. Yet, since you are sexually active, I would ask you to confirm/exclude pregnancy through a HPT or the blood test. A trans-vaginal sonogram also helps to know the status of the pelvic organs. If pregnancy is excluded, this menstrual disturbance can be attributed to hormone imbalance and treated accordingly. Hope this helps.
