Evening primrose oil is a hormone-balancing nutrient to help regulate the oestrogen and progesterone levels. It has been proven to be effective in regulating the hormone levels as it supplies the body with gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) which will then be converted to beneficial prostaglandins.

Stress can sometimes lead to amenorrhea. The oestrogen levels are in the lower range and often ovulation does not occur. Have enough rest and learn to manage stress wisely. Yoga, meditation and prayer may help you cope better with stress. Exercise regularly but not too strenuously as it may interfere with the hormones.
