Can stress bring your period sooner?

Question

Hi guys, 
I've been stressing about school starting & getting ready for it. Buying all those expensive books, and getting mentally ready to do school & work both full time. 
My boyfriend and I are actually TTC, and my period is supposed to come Oct 2nd. Today is the 24th and I am spotting with light cramps. 
I've heard people say that when you're stressed out you can either get your period sooner, OR if you're already on your period you can stop it for being way too stressed. Has anyone experience either or?

Answer

Yes has totally happened to me on many stressful occasions unfortunately... 
I've never talked to anyone else where it has actually happened.. but has to me I hate to say.. it throws everything off.. you might store all over or also have your normal period right after.. both have happened to me.. so do yourself a favor and don't steer it honey... its really not worth it

Answer

I’ve herd of stress making your period late but not come early.

Answer

Yes this has happened to me. Very stressed this week, stressed to the point of lining up a counselor for therapy, and my period came about a week and half early.  I’m talking the most stress of my life (marital troubles, daycare troubles, work is pointless, life is falling apart and I can’t go on like this kind of stress…. ).  It’s funny because after the arguments with my husband, my period starts, and my husband  says “well it’s that time if the month and that’s why you’re acting this way”… then I checked the calendar and it’s 1.5 weeks early!
