Hello Anonymous,
It sounds like high stress levels are causing havoc with your menstrual cycle.

In June, you had a lighter and shorter period. You are not pregnant.
When you are pregnant, you do not have vaginal bleeding that lasts for three to four days and still sustain the pregnancy.

When you are stressed, your brain's sympathetic nerves signal your adrenal glands release two hormones, adrenaline and cortisol. Persistently high levels of these stress hormone can negatively affect your health. Stress can lengthen or shorten your menstrual cycle, stop it altogether or make your periods more painful.

I hope this helps.
