sorry, i know there are a couple around atm

usually, my period is regular. i know when to expect my next one and when it will stop, etc.

but my last two periods have been 6/7 days early.

why is this? could you perhaps link me to a website which explains? i've googled it but i'm not getting very good results.

i was thinking it could be stress since that's the only thing i can think of. i have been quite stressed recently...

but i wouldn't say my stress levels have increased a considerable amount, i've always been this way and my periods were going regular for 24 months and then i suddenly start getting an irregularity - and twice?

Sometimes it just happens, not many people do start exactly on time.

Sometimes your periods just shift slightly- your first one could have been slightly early because of any number of different factors e.g. stress, being around other girls and your body falling into sync with them, or just some natural fluctuation within your body. From what you say the second irregular one was in sync with the first irregular one (as they were both 6-7 days early) so it may just be that your pattern has jumped back a week.
Whilst regular periods are useful for forward planning, its nothing to worry about if your periods are slightly irregular.
