I also have irregular and painful periods, and I believe stress makes it worse. One thing I've learned recently is that drastically reducing my caffeine appears to have helped out my cramps quite a bit. A lot of people drink more caffeine when they're stressed, so you might try that. I also do a lot of yoga and stretching on an exercise ball when I have cramps, and find that can help a lot. The amount of time between my cycles is still irregular but the symptoms themselves are reduced.

I have that color nail polish on right now!! :)
anywho, I dont have bad cramps perse, I just have irregular periods of time between periods.
Like, I get worried I may be pregnant but then I get my period a bit too late for my taste...
Does that make sense?
I know it has to do with stress.

Your period will actually take longer if you're sitting there worrying about it being late -- if you try to quit stressing about it for a little while, it'll almost always come visit.
And now you know why pregnancy tests are the #1 way to induce a period ;D
