I've absolutely no dress sense at all, so I live by the women's suits section of Lands' End
It's worth checking the dress code of the office - see if they are smart casual or full-on formal business wear.

Hi all you girls, I'm actually reviving this thread because I have a rather personal question that's been sort of praying on my mind and this thread seemed the best place to ask.
I got married oh about three months agoish and my lovely body had originally planned my period was supposed to start actually on that wedding day. Well wedding stress completely knocked the thing off the map (I had a total melt down about 4 days before that actually had nothing to do with the wedding, car batteries are evil).
I skipped for a month and a half then it came back with a vengence. I bled for 12 days, it stopped and then it picked up again after 2 weeks (this time it lasted about a week).
It's changed a bit too, mine used to be a heavy first couple days then light for another three or so. Now it's medium for about a week.
I'm kinda wondering if it was just a simple case of too much buildup by the time stress and hormones pushed it off or if something bad (like say a miscarriage) happened.
Has anyone else had something like this happen before?

Hiya.
I've never skipped a month... but periods do tend to change their pattern as you get older, and as your lifestyle and personal well-being change.
I wouldn't be too concerned with heavier periods which last a little longer... but if you are experiencing it fortnightly, I'd have a chat with your doc. Skipping it isn't making it very easy for your body to cope with what can already be a taxing process (I assume you did this with the help of the pill?). A wedding day is as legit a reason to do it as any other though! White and having the painters is really NOT the best idea!
I wouldn't worry at all if I were you. I agree with Kimc, best to put your mind at ease with a chat/visit. If it is just because you skipped one, you'll be back to usual in no time.
Enjoy your periods while you've got 'em I say! I listened to a radio talk show just this morning in which they were detailing the "joys" of menopause, and I was rather thankful I don't have to think about that for a few years!

blab, naturally, I agree with kimc about checking with your doc.
Now, it could very well be an early miscarriage, but it could also be the stress of completely changing your life, though the change you made is a good thing. I would be willing to bet that now your body will get back to a more normal pattern. But there's no reason to worry about it. Make an appointment and put your mind at ease.
(((hugs)))

I have never skipped a period, but I have had one come early due to stress. It came almost two weeks before it was supposed to, and it was pretty heavy. After that, it came back a month later, so really the whole thing just shifted my cycle ahead two weeks. I would say that your body will regulate itself and get back on a regular schedule by your next period. That's what I've usually seen happen in friends and other women, but I could be wrong and it could take longer. I don't think you really have anything to worry about, but if you are nervous about it then go to a doctor, or just call a doctor and ask over the phone, since there's probably not a lot they could do for you in person anyway.
I share your pain. I'm the only woman on my team. Let's just say the best teams I've been on were a lot more balanced.
Who happen to be very nice. Most of them gay, too.
^Me too. Most of the males I meet are under the age of 8.
That's when they're at their best.
Agreed with kimc about going to your doctor, but yeah, stress will do that to a woman's cycle. The summer my grandfather died, I had a lot of stress and missed two periods. Doc said I was fine. I got back to normal when things settled down.
And I had a pretty awful period after the skip. Stress wreaks havoc with hormones.
That's when they're at their best.
They're certainly less annoying than the older variety, and that's saying something!
My system decided to hate me today... Aunt Flow came...not fun.
I always seem to get mine at the worst times- like the day before Thanksgiving. 
That was fun- NOT.
I fear an early appearance this month because I'm getting that pre-period nausea, headache, and irritability now.

I'd pay real money to skip a period. Just one.
You could set a clock by mine.
