Right, I know that stress can make you miss a period, but I forgot to mention this at the doctor today (went because I've been having a breathing issue every so often and because every time I try and have sex it's like a red hot poker has been poked inside my ladybits - she basically said that both things were stress-related).
Can stress make your periods longer? I did have the injection about 7-8 weeks ago and my next period was then late by about two weeks, and when it first started was really light (which I LOVED) but now it's started being really heavy and I started about a week and a half ago. It's usually one week, starting really heavy for the first couple days then petering out by about day 5. I don't like this . I also can't go and see a doctor about the pain thing (not convinced about that being stress) until it's over. Bah.

I really should have a taste of my own medicine here, but give some relaxation techniques a go, and see if that helps anything...
