Has your period ever been late but you have no idea why? While there are many factors that go into it, today we're chatting about 2 of them: stress & travel.

Details from today's show!

  • Stress raises cortisol levels and disrupts your blood sugar which, in turn, disrupts your ovulation and period.
  • The stress hormone cortisol blocks progesterone production and lowers progesterone levels.
    • This messes with your cycle by lengthening your luteal phase and makes your periods start of slow, with a lot of brown spotting and brown blood before your regular flow.\\xa0
  • If you experience stress around the time you typically ovulate, the increased levels of cortisol can delay or even prevent ovulation.
  • Intense stress can cause anovulatory cycles, or months when you don\\u2019t ovulate at all.
