Why has my period cycle become irregular? Help, I'm really worried!?

I'm 22 years old, and I've noticed my last 3 periods have been 1 day late, 4 days early & now I feel like I'm about to have it 1 week early! I'm not taking any contraceptives & I'm still a virgin. I've never had irregularities in my cycle before..there's no difference in the pain or duration of my period. However the last 3 months were extremely stressful for me! I went through a horrible experience and took a lot of stress because of that, so could the irregularity be the after effects of the past stress I suffered? Please help! But don't scare me I worry too much!

    Yes, stress could cause irregularity in menstrual cycles! It's good to know you are still a virgin, at least you know you're not pregnant. Try to find ways to relax/meditate, and see if your period goes back to being normal. If you are really concerned about it, you could go see a doctor to be sure it's just stress. This could also help you from being worried about it, which could add to your stress, causing more irregularities to your period.
