No Period for Months - Not Pregnant

Well I don’t know what you should do but that is happening to me too and I am only 12 years old! I had been having my period for about a year when suddenly I stopped and I haven’t had it in 7 months!

I am 18 and recently come off the pill as it was awfull with my hormones and wasn’t making my periods any better.
I suffer with back pains, blood clots and stomach aches. As soon as i came of the pill i haven’t had a period or any of the signs (pains) to say i am going to have one. I have had pregnancy tests that have all come up negitive, i’m starting to worry that i have something wrong me. The doctors have put me under blood test but don’t seem to worried about it, i have the blood tests in 3 weeks. I feel the doctors think it’s just another person moaning about something insignificant but i have research that stoppages of the menestral cycle can lead to alot.
It might be worth seeing your doctor about a blood test to make sure you are in the clear for anything else it could be.
hope this helps
Good luck

I am 32 years old. My period was fine from age 12-18. At 18 I got pregnant. After I had my son at 19 it all went down hill from there. I had the Norplant put in when my son was 4 months old. I had the Norplant from Oct. 1993 until Jan. 1997, when I got married and my husband and I decided we wanted to have a baby. Well I had the Norplant removed and my period never returned. Eight long years of trying. I went on birth control pills to start my period then we tried fertility meds for 5 months. Still no luck then my period would stop again. I had all the test run…nothing. The only way I could have my period was to take birth control pills. BUT I wanted to get pregnant. No luck. So we gave up the idea. I got into this mode of “getting Healthy” So I joined the YMCA, stopped smoking after 15 years. Lots weight drinking water like crazy, taking vitamins. Went back on the pill for the three month supply I had left. When I was out of pills I just let it go and my periods kept coming. Three months on the pill + five months period with no pills. Then I got the flu really bad and no period! So I went to get any and every medicine I could find for the flu. And just to be on the safe side an pregnacy test. Didn’t want to regret taking something bad… you know?! So to me and my husbands surprise I was PREGNANT after 9 years. Ok fast foward… after I had my daughter and had my six week check up/what do you want for birth control. I choose the pill again. I took it for 5 months then read more on the pill and my husband and I decided that because it was an abortive method, that was not for us (I had NO idea all this time) So less than a year after I had a baby (my daughter will be one Sept. 1st.)I AGAIN have NO period!! Go figure?????!!!!!!

Hi there. I have never really had any trouble with my period. When I was 15 I went on the pill due to irregular periods (I was only ever late by a few days) and bad back pain and cramps. I also went on the pill because of bad acne. Well now I am 23 and married and my husband and I wanted to try for a baby. So I have been of the pill for the last 4 months and had normal periods during that time. This month I am almost 2 weeks late. You think I would be pregnant. NO!!! I’m not. I have taken 3 at home pregnancy tests and I have also gone to the doctor for a blood test. All came back negative. This is very frustrating. I dont know why I will not get my period and my husband and I really want a baby. My doctor said that being on the pill for so many years, it could take a couple months to get normal periods again. But that doesn’t make sense because for the last four months that I have been off the pill my periods have been fine. I dont know what to think or do.

well lemme tell you my story with all this, I was 15 when I stopped having my perios altogehter, soon I noticed that I gained alot of weight, but for me going to the doctor wasnt an option, I knew that there was no way to pay for it, seeing as if I mentioned to my mom that I wasnt having a period it would automatically be that I was fooling around, well I didn’t go until I turned 18. When I did they put me on birth controls and provera, since then I have been infertile, I dont know why but for some reason birth control pills seem to have this affect on alot of women, so just keep that in mind, but now I went to another doctor, found out there are TONS of other options that can help you out, I personally chose nuvaring, and this IS a birth control, at first I needed it to have a period, but since my husband got back from deployment we’re trying for a baby and I took it off, we haven’t got pregnant YET BUT guess what, now I have a period without ANY medications, I’m just suggesting you try nuvaring, it brought me my periods again, which is alot better than not having them at all believe me I know. Good Luck

mkay i am 14 and i haven’t had my period in almost 11 months im kinda worried but hey what can you do?

I’m 25 years old, had been on the patch since 2003, after I had my second baby on August last year I went back on the patch, but 3 months ago I change to the pill, because the patch was giving me a rash on my skin. Well, since I been on the pill I have not had a period, I took 3 home pregnancy test and they were all negative. I have bad luck with Doctors, every time I go to see them, they run all kind of tests on my that are not necesary. I don’t know what to do.

well, i have the similar case of not having my period. However, i went to the gynacloigst and she gave me pills to get my period, i should have got it 2 days after ending the pills buut here i am three weeks after the pills and still no sigh of the period

I have the same kind of problems. I am 18 and haven’t had my period in over 8 months. I lost about 30 pounds last year but I have kept a steady weight for the past 3 or 4 months at least. i may be a little underweight for my height, but not that much. I am really worried that not having my period will cause me to become infertile later in life. I have been to the doctor twice and all tests come back fine. My gyno wants to put me on the pill but I don’t want to go on it. The doctor prescribed me provera which was supposed to start my period, but it didn’t work. I don’t know what is wrong, but I would love to know!!

Hi,
I’m going through the exact same thing I have an underactive thyroid and have so since the age of 14. I am feeling very distressed my period is also late and for me I automatically assumed I was pregnant. However after going for a pregnancy test it showed up negative. What do I do??!!

Hi,
I am going to be 21 years old and I had period problem since my first period. My 1st period was during 15 years old. After the 1st period, my period came agin after 7 months and followed by 9 months and now even worst. I had consulted few doctors, they did the blood test, ultrasound and nothing wrong with the results. Thay gave me some pills to force my period to come, it worked but I feel like I am un normal. I cant have period every months unless I takes the pills.

Anybody know why? Please give me some solution. I love baby and I dont think I will have baby in this condition. HELP!

I went on birth control from 16 to around 29 years of age…..I stopped taking it and have NEVER had a period. I am now 32 and am just now interested in getting pregnant………..my dr. is putting me on med. to start my period and trying chlomid (sp)? Does anyone else have a similar exp??

Hey gals, do a bit of research on PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is defined by irregular periods, fluctuation in weight and some other symptoms a few of you have been describing. I have it and can’t have a period w/o meds. It usually is some type of birth control combined w/ a diabetes med glucophage. Sometimes affects fertility and sometimes not.

I am 24. I never had a problem with my periods but 4 months ago i stopped getting my period. I take pregancy tests every so often but they all come back neg. The doctors I have consulted say its probably due to stress but im not sure. I am also taking adderall for ADHD that I started taking 4 months ago so that could be it but i also started school 4 months ago so it could be stress, any ideas?

Leanne, same here.

I am 19 years old and was on birth control when I was 16. I had a lot of issues with it (including bleeding for 3 months straight) and just stopped taking it.

I have not had a period since, and the doctors don’t seem to care. No tests, just lectures for me not taking birth control. They make it seem so insignificant but if something bad happens, I’m sure I’ll be to blame for “not getting help sooner.”

I am scared and very frustrated. It could be anything.

hey there…. i am having the same problem also… no period for 2 months now… i now that doesn’t seem like anything compared to some of you guyz… but my period never even skips… it’s ALWAYS right on time.. you know…. well if anyone has any ideas please let me know….
im almost certain i’m not a young mother to be because i’ve taken three urine tests now and all negative… any advice???

Hi,
When I turned 18 I stopped having a period for three years. Every doctor I went to said that I was just infertile and put me on birth control. The pills caused me major problems, and I stopped taking them. After 3 yrs, it was discovered that I had a noncancerous growth that took up my right ovary. It had to be surgically removed. Two years later I am having the same problems. My advice is to make sure that your doctor finds out the cause of your problem, and doesn’t just prescribe the pill.

hi im a 16 year old girl and i have not had a perid in over 4 months, i also may be bulimic, and also may have anerexia nervosa.is this the conclusion why i have not had a period.. i dont want to go on the pill though…but none of my family know that i have an eating disorder…what shall i do i cant cope and it doesnt help with my GCSEs coming up this year…

Same problem here. Got off nuvaring (which i love btw) and had one period then no more for about 3 months now. I’ve always been irregular and had been on bc for 3 years so I’m not incredibly worried. I did a bit of research to see if i should be. Thought I’d share with you what I’ve found.
The absence of menstrual periods is called amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea refers to either the temporary or permanent ending of periods in a woman who has menstruated normally in the past.
Amenorrhea is a symptom. Causes vary.
This website was very helpful regarding causes:
http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/p/pregnancy/book-diseases-11a.htm
It uses a lot of technical terms but if you google the name of the condition you can find info that’s more useful.
None of them really pertain to me so i’m chalking it up to my irregularity and that i just got off birth control. Hormonal birth control prevents you from ovulating so technically i haven’t ovulated for years, it makes sense for a body to take a few months to adjust.
Hope that helps. Google is your friend. Self-diagnosis is common and often more correct than going to the doctor. Look it up.

I’m 21,have not had a period in 5 months,and I’m not pregnant. It might be pof..??

People. I have had the same problem. I have a period once every 4 – 6 months. I personally am glad, as I want no children, and periods are annoying. However, I understand many of you do not feel the same way. You need to be tested for PCOS. Poly cystic ovary syndrome. That is the main cause of stopped or sporadic periods. There are some cases where this just happens, and doctors aren’t sure why. Tis life. Could be hormones, could be anything. Accept it and be glad that it isn’t an enlarged heart or something. Be glad you aren’t going to die, that you can adopt a baby and show it love that it otherwise wouldn’t have, and don’t sweat over it your whole life.

I’m 17 years old and have had irregular periods since I first started to get them. When i was 15, i had my first ovarian cyst and had 3 more since then. I was sent to specialist but each form of birth control they gave me had horrible effects, so i was told to stop taking them. Know I haven’t had a period for close to 5 months. My mother and I are worried so tomorrow I have an appointment with my OBGYN.

I’m 25 and VERY angry at my Dr. I’ve been on BC pills for 7 years. I went off the pills when I was 18 for a year and I never had a period. I went back on the pills at 19. Every year I go for my pap, and tell the dr. that I only have a period (and a very very light one) 3 times a year. She always smiles and says “you are very lucky! that means the pills are working very well in your body”. My husband (of 4 years) and I are now TTC and I’ve been off the pill for 5 months. I haven’t had a period in about 7 months. I called the Dr. and her nurse called me back and said that it was “very normal not to have a period for months after stopping BC pills”. Ummm, NO!!! I think the pill was covering up a problem. I don’t know what to do!?? Do I find a new Dr? WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME THE RISKS OF TAKING BIRTH CONTROL????? Why didn’t see tell me that not having a period is my body telling me that there is a problem? Uhhh, I should have listened to my body. Why wasn’t I told to take a break from those evil hormones to see if I was ovulating at all? Has anyone else had this problem with their Dr?

Hi, I’m almost 21 years old, and I haven’t had my period since the first of this year. I’ve never been on birth control, and I positively loathe taking pills of any kind unless I have to. I know that I can’t be pregnant, as I’ve never had sex with my boyfriend, but the more and more I look at all these sites out there about late periods and slight cramping and how it means you’re probably pregnant, the more scared I am that something is wrong or that somehow something happened and I’m pregnant. I’m currently overweight and have been for a while now, but I’ve gone back to college after the whole food system on campus changed, and all they have to eat now is pizza, deep-fried things, Taco Bell, and chicken in just about every form you can think of. I’m hoping that my lack of period is due to stress and poor diet, and that nothing more serious is going on. I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow, and I’m positively scared witless!

I am 18.. and well i havnt had a period in over 1 year and 3 months. i am not pregnant, i am sexualy active.. im not on the pill and never have been.. also i have gone to the doctor about it and lol.. he doesnt even know what is wrong with me.. ive gone to 3 different doctors.. been through so many test.. they all say everything is perfect.. maybe im “just lucky”… XD!!!!

i havent had period in like 4 months and its happednt to me a alot. I am around 15 and i dance like 6 days a week. I try to go on a diet because my weight changes a lot but I am kinda worried that something is wrong. What should i do

i have the same problem as you not having periods how annoying is it not knowing if or when it will happen i have p.c.o.s (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) but non of my dr’s seem to be able to help with that, i get told it’s just something i have to deal with i’ve known i’ve had it since i was 14 im now 24 and i started my periods at 11 and through out all of thoose years i have never had them regularly but always at least 1 in a year but this past year nothing RARRRRRRRRRRRRRR rant over lol

hey guyz,

I have a irritation or dryness in my vagina. My blood test results, harmone test results shows i m perfect. My doc recommended provera. I took it, but doesnt see m to be working.. can anyone help me out??

I have the same thing. I’m 18 and i haven’t gotten my period in 7 months. I’m use to it. The thing that i am warried about is that i’ve been living with my boyfriend for 1 year. We’ve been tring to have a baby for 5 months now. Im scard that i will never have kids. What should i do?

I was late in starting my periods (when i was 17 I had my first one!!) then they would ocme and go. i got put on the pill to regulate them but i got depressed and put on loads of weight. I then stopped and lost a few stone and met my current partner.this was when i was 25 and still not a regular cycle. as my sex life took off i went back on the pill and put a tiny bit of weight on but the depression came back. sut still no cycle. i have been tested for everything and even had several ultrasounds. i am due a camera to be inserted but I am not giving up hope of having a family with my partner. my sister is currently pregnant with her first baby and secretly its tearing me apart. at the end of the day i can have as much sex as i want as i have a natural contraception but without traetment im stuck

Hi my name is Cindy and I am 19. I have been having the same problem for the last 8 months and im not pregnant. i dont know what do to but i have heard stories about people with this sort of problem who have had to have surgery to treat it!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to tell you all that everything you have said has convinced me to share my story and some possible questions. I have been on birthcontrol since I was 16 (now 21), I was on the patch for 2 years and just recently the Depo shot. Well, I decided to stop taking the shot after 2 1/2 years. My last shot was October of 2007. Now me and my fiancee are trying to have a child. I haven’t had my period in almost 3 years and am scared to death. I am recently experiencing VERY SORE breasts, light cramping (no period) and fatigue/nausea everyday but no vomiting. I have taken home tests and all have come back negative, recently one last week. Since I got home from our trip my symptoms seem to be getting worse. My DR. just shrugs it off and gives me a lecture of being too young, any advice anyone?? Anything will help!! Thank you in advance!!

I am 19 years old and I am experiencing the same problem. The last time I had a period was in January and before that, the last time I had had one was in June. I am very concerned!

hey im 16. i dont have any eating issues. im not sexualy active. ive always had irregular periods. and now i havent one for about 4 months. im kinda creeped out and worried. idk, but im hoping it is just due to stress. does that sound possible?

im 15 and havn’t had my period for 7 months, but before that it almost like clock work and ive never had sex so i know im not pregnant. I refuse to tell anyone, but it’s starting to worry me. any advice?

yeah i’m having the exact same issues. 17. def not pregnant. but i haven’t had a period in like 7 months…i did go through A LOT of stress during the school year…so i’m wondering if that could be a possibility?? i’m super worried. ANY ADVICE AT ALL?? i really don’t wanna tell anyone..it scares me.

i m nt having periods for 3 4 months… may i know wt is happened with me.. i m just masturbating my self and dont have any sexual relation with any. plz tell me i m very worried abt my periods.

I wanted to comment on Darlene’s reply regarding the NuvaRing. I would caution you about using the NuvaRing. It is a relatively new method of birth control and not widely distributed so it’s true side effects are still uncertain. I tried the NuvaRing a few years ago because I didn’t like the side effects of the pill. The NuvaRing releases estrogem in a different way then the pill and for some people, it’s too much. After a few months using it, I was hospitalized for blood clots on my lungs. I’m not saying it will happen to everyone, but the risk is higher than other methods of birth control that use estrogen(there is a reason they give you all those risks on the TV commercial). If you and your doctor decide it’s the best option for you, then be sure to discuss what your individual risks may be from using it. (family history, smoking, etc all contribute to an increased risk of blood clots with any birth control, especially the NuvaRing).

hi i am 18. I have a 1 yr old daughter. my periods were find i had muh last period the end of may. and i am not on any kind birth control and havent been, and i am not pregant so wat should i do???

I’m 19 years old and have been on birth control for about a year and a half. 3 months ago, I stopped getting my period and I haven’t had it since. I’ve never had problems with irregular periods, I’ve never even missed one. I’ve taken 3 pregnancy tests and all have been negative. What is wrong with me?

Hi,
I’m 18…same story really.
My periods have always been erratic but the past year has become more extreme.
I’m very petite and usually around 7 and half stone, but lately I’ve inexplicably dropped to 6 stone 8 (I’m not fasting, bulimic, dieting, anything) and my periods usually come every 2 months or so and last only about 2 days. I’ve not had a period now in about 2 or 3 months. I was slightly concerned that I might be pregnant, so I’ve been weighing myself regularly and my weight has dropped slowly from 6.10 to about 6.8. I took a pregnancy test and got the all clear. I’m currently have bad stomach pains but no sign of any period at all. I’m really worried – I don’t know why I’m losing weight and I believe this to be the cause of my periods stopping.

I’m 22yrs old, not sexually active and I havent had my period since February and its now July. I went from June to February with no period and before that I had gone from November to January. I want to have kids eventually, but I dont know whats wrong. the doctor just gave me progesterone and well thats how i got my February one. the one before that, i just went on a diet. now im on a diet and i still have no period. Im scared, someone help! please!

Hi guys…I too have a story
I started getting my periods around 13 and they were NEVER regular. I was a little overweight through high school and they continued to run a month and 1/2 to two months. Then, when I started losing weight in my late teens, early 20’s, they would start and stop and I’d maybe get 2 or 3 periods a year. Of course, my doctors put me on the pill..it didn’t agree with me and I stopped taking it. Then I had one deprovera shot and when that wore off, I didn’t get my period for a while..steadily, I could look forward to it once every month and a half until this past year..I have not had a period since the middle of April and it’s now the middle of July. I’m not pregnant and I’m a little worried because I’d like to have children soon. I have a doctor’s appointment next week but I am overly concerned that these medications, i.e. birth control and others, are a band aide to a much larger problem. It may be environmental. Hang in there everyone and good luck!

I am 19 years old and 3 months ago my periods were like clockwork always on the 28th or nearish that date every month, then all of a sudden they started becoming later and later with the dates progressing from the begining of the month down to the 10th and then the last one i had was on the 12th which was almost 2 months ago!!
I have taken a test which showed i am not pregnant and i am getting cramps but no period, i have decided to take some pills which actually prevent your period for a few days and then when you stop them they push your period to happen because i am overbursting with hormones waiting to come out. I hope this method works otherwise i am going to have to go to the doctor and like you all say they treat women like its another pain oh well no big deal, i don’t like having my periods but its nice having them so i know everything is in check.

hi i am 25 and i haven’t had my period in almost 5 months im kinda worried but hey what can you do? any one with same sitution???

hi my name is stephanie im 18 years old and like other girls i havent got my period for almost a year im worried,and scared,i dont what to do i havent gone to the docter because im afrade they will tell me i cant have kids can some one help me…….:(

I’m having this problem also. it all started with my sex drive being LOW about a year ago, then I started having vaginal dryness starting a few months ago, now I am about a month or month and a half late for my period.

my period still hasn’t come back and it’s been almost 8 months. 17 and not sexually active. i’m super scared to tell ANYONE about it. i don’t wanna go to the doctor cuz i’m sooo scared it will be something like cancer or a tumor. but as i’ve been researching i think that stress is prob whats doing it for me. i went through MAJOR stress over the past schoo yr. and then i went on vacation (time change and jet lag) and my friends mom just died. plus i’m stressing MAJORLY over the no period thing. i pray it’s only stress….i’m scared.

if ANYONE has ANY advice…plzzz share!!!

I am having similar problems. I have been off of birth control since June 2006. I got pregnant in October 2006 and had my baby boy in July 2007. Since he was born I had regular periods until June 2008. My last period was May 2008. I took many pregnancy tests, all negative. I went to the doctor and had a negative pregnancy blood test. Everything else checked out fine, thyroid and all. I am slowly gaining weight, feel pregnant at times, and can swear that I feel a baby kicking inside me jst to the right of my belly button. But even if I was pregnant, isn’t it too early to feel the baby kicking? If you have anything to respond, PLEASE do!

i am havin the same problems im 13 && i havent had period in a while im worried about pregnancy but i really dont think i am.

Hey guys. I’m having the same problem! I had my period since I was but about 6 months ago it just stopped. I’ll admit, im pretty scared…i hope it’s not serious! I went on Hormone balancing tablets & I spotted for about 2 days. I’m taking more tablets & if I dont get my period in the net month i definitly want to see the doctor! you should all really get it checked to just in case.

I HAVENT HAD MY PERIOD IN FOUR MONTHS!! AND IM NOT PREGNANT!! I WISH I COULD FIND OUT WHATS WRONG…COULD IT BE CERVIX CANCER?? AND RIGHT THE PILL ONLY MAKES IT WORSE!!!

Hi, I am 27 years old and I have never had a problem with my period until after I got my daughter 7 years ago. At first it was just irregular, missing a few weeks to a month, it then increased to 3 or 4 months after some time. As time went on I got more worried since I was worried about not being able to have more kids. Suddenly, I got pregnant 5 years later (I usually take random pregnancy test because of my miss periods), however I lost the baby three months into the pregnancy. Finally I went to a doctor who advised me that my hormones were imbalanced so she put me on the pills, assuring me that after 7 to 9 months on the pills the problem should go away. Everything was fine for the months I was on the pills, however after I came off the pills the period went away and now it takes about 5 to 7 months before I get one. I am want more kids!! This is frustrating me, I am constantly having pregnancy test done because of what happened before and I do not want to be caught off guard again!! I am going crazy I want to be pregnant!!!!!

This is crazy because I am all confused and dont know which way to turn. I’m 23 yrs old and I haven’t seen a period since March 07 over a yr and a half ago. I started my period when I was 11 yrs old. I have been on birth control sice I was 16, started out on the pill, then I switched to the shot and was on that for a couple of yrs, then I tried the patch and didnt like it so I got back on the shot. I got off the shot Sept of 05. The end of 06 I got on the Nuva Ring didnt like that because it lowered my sex drive so I got off of birth control all together in March of 07. The funny thing is I got my period with these birthcontrols (except the shot) but I dont have one naturally. So I went to my doc and started pushing the issue because I have no idea what is going on with my body. She did a couple of blood test but then referred my to a GYN and she did the same thing and referred me to a rheumotogist because she thinks that it might be a autoimmune disorder and this might be why I dont get a period and why my ovaries might not me working propely. My BIG issue with this is that i’m at the age now where I want to have a baby and I just want to make sure that everything is okay so that I can do that in the near future. Having a period is part of being a woman and without one how will I know if I am ovalating or if i will be able to have children at all. I just pray that everything turns out okay.

Hey everyone I also haven’t had a period in like going on 9 months n I don’t know why. I been having all the symptoms but no period. I don’t know why but I’ve been thinking I have a brain tumor but who knows. It’s been important to me but not really to anyone else but I going to find me a OBGYN because I am kinda worried about my self which at my age {15} I need to be. I think its from stress but who knows sometimes I think the doctors barely know about teenage bodies and what we go threw but its not gone hurt to see what they have to say because they know more this then I do they just don’t know more about my body then me. I wish everyone good luck and hope its nothing drastictly serious thanks!

Ladies- It is very common for women who have just begun menstrating to miss periods, Don’t stress. If you are sexually active and missing periods be sure to take a pregnancy test to rule it out. If you have recently stopped taking birth control pills and have not seen a normal reoccurance of periods this is common also. Some women can actually be more fertile after stopping the pill. Regardless of your age or situation if you have missed a period for 3 months or more, you should see your doctor. Periods are a reassurance that everything is working as it should, and the uterine lining that is building up needs to shed (which is what your period is). If it doesn’t we worry about a endometriosis which could lead to other conditions later in time. Don’t stress, just go to your Dr. and tell them your story.

hi, iam 18 about to turn 19 soon & iam not sure if iam pregnant the only sexual activity i’ve had is “dry humping” w|out clothes i took a pregnancy test & it came out negative, umm u can say i have an irregular menstrual cycle mine is either late or early but since last month its been weird i would feel bloated for a few days den back to normal now iam getting cramps but no period & like 3 days ago i guess u can say i was spotting like if my period was ending…i also have this temp. genetic disease called alopecia areata u loose patches of hair & with treatment the hair gross back so the treatment iam getting is these shots & i been on treatment for about 2months and since last i started the treatment thats when my period became weird my last one started out like dark brownish den it got normal but then it lasted like almost 2weeks and i havent gotton it this month just da whole spotting and cramping sinerio i dont know if its the treatment dats causing this …helppp

I’mm 19 and havent had a period for 5months,
my doctor gave me several pregnance test put all
of them came up nagtive, I use to take the birth contorl patch but once i stopped there was no period since then.I dont no what’s wrong with me Im starting to become worried with me! i do discharge alot like im trying to come on put nothing happen,will this effect be from becoming pregnant in the futher? because i do plan on having kids.

Depending on your age, this could be due to menopause. Other causes could be lack of ovulation or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). You should schedule an appointment with your gynocologist to get checked out. They will need to do a pregnancy test (preferrably a blood test) to rule out pregnancy. Also, they will need to check your hormones to make sure you are producing progesterone, the hormone that is released causing the membrane in the uterus to detach thus causing a menstrual cycle. If your hormones are out of whack, they will probably give you a high dose of progesterone to take over a short period of time in order to induce a cycle. Sometimes this helps your body get back into a cycle, but sometimes it doesn’t.

I’m going through the same thing currently. I’m 24 and have been on the ortho trycyclen birth control pill for four years. I stopped taking the pill in June because my husband and I are wanting to try to conceive this December. I had a cycle in June after stopping but it was VERY light and only lasted two days. Following that, it was 40 days until my next cycle, again VERY light and only two and a half days long. It has now been 75 days and still no period. I’ve got a doctor’s appointment to check my hormones scheduled for Nov. 19. I’m really hoping we can figure out what’s going on by December so we can start trying. I will try to update you on what my doctor says.

Note: I have two sisters (one with two children and one with one child) who are currently going through similar situations. My sister with only one child had complications due to gestational diabetes with her first child, then miscarried about a year later. They tried for three years before conceiving their first child. Since then they have had trouble trying to conceive and are looking into Chlomid and even adoption.

Best of luck!

I am 23 yrs old married and been trying to have a baby with my husband for the last three years i cant say i dont get my period but it only comes like once a year and this year they gave me pills to get my period and then clomid i have done this three times this yr already and nothing they have run test and nothing is wrong it is just very frustrating to see everyone one around me having babies and some r even on there second since we have started trying i was just wondering if anyone knows if u can still get preggers without haveing a period which ikinda knkow is a no but any sign would be nice right about now

Hi, I’m 17 and I’m having the exact same problem!

Execpt my period has NEVER been regular. I first got it when I was 13 and it didnt return for months. And it also never comes two months back to back. I play a lot of sports and I have lost a lot of weight because sometime I just dont feel like eating.

but I am afraid that I am infertile. And that scares me, because my Aunt is, yet she gets her period every month. I’m afraid to say anything to my mom because she’ll think that my boyfriend and I are fooling around. But I haven’t had a period in over 3 months, yet…no symptoms of pregnancy. I’m at a lost for words…any help please??

I am 23,I didn’t have my period for nearly 3 months. During this time I went to the doctors for some tests.
I was previously on the pill for 5 years, I stopped and had normal period for 8 months, then nothing for 3 months.
All hormonal blood tests were normal so she sent me for an ultrasound.
In the end it showed that I had cysts in my ovaries, which suggested I had poly cystic ovary syndrome.
They re-tested my blood specifically for FAI levels which confirmed I have this syndrome.
On researching this I have found that this explains why I’ve been putting on weight and noticing slightly more or darker body hair.
Being on the pill since I was 17, has basically been masking the symptoms of this as it helps control the hormone levels.
Don’t be afraid to go to your doctor and ask the question.
I just wanted to post a reply because I too was researching possible causes of my missing period. Everyone seemed to post here with their problem, but no-one was coming back with outcomes.
I hope this helps at least one person ease their mind to go & see the doctors.
Enjoy!

hi i am 17 years old and i just had a baby eight months ago. i got on the shot and after the 3 months were up i got off…i have been having sexual intercourse and i have been taking pregnancy tests and they have all come up negative. i dont want to mention it to my mom and she freaks out…so what am i to do? i plan on visiting the doctor but i have no insurance? this is really stressing me out, and i have stopped having sex all together to see whats going on.

hey amy!

I understand where you’re coming from with the eating disorder. Get help as soon as possible because it is very detrimental to your health and mind. All the models in the magazines are photoshoped and unhealthy so don’t measure you’re weight on them. You are beautiful no matter what size! Maybe try this I don’t know if this helps but i googled it. Be blessed! http://www.helpguide.org/mental/eating_disorder_self_help.htm

hi all!
i am 17 and haven’t had a period in over a year. i am not and have never been on the pill. i have never used anything other than a condom to prevent pregnancy. i finally told my mom what was going on with myself and she made me take a pregnancy test. it came back negative. so she sat me down and told me there is something really wrong with me. any ideas on what it could be? i would go to the doctor to find things out, i know i should, but we never have the time. i work, and my mother stays home looking after the rest of her kids. i need help.

I’m 22 and haven’t had a period in 7 months…i got this long everytime, then have one for 2 weeks-1 month then on the cycle again.

I’m 22 and haven’t had a period in 7 months, I’ll have one that lasts from 2 weeks- 1 month, but then don’t have one for a long period of time. I have been tested for hyperthyriodism, diabetes, ovarian cancer, HPV, poly-cystic ovaries, etc etc. Any test that can be done i have had it. I have taken birth control but it only makes me gain weight. I also have no sex drive, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. So I am sorry to all of you who are expericeing the same symptoms as me. It’s annoying.

Hi i am 14 years old almost 15 in a month i am getting worried to because i haven’t had my period for 12 months maybe becasue it is my weight i don’t know but it scares me becasue it makes me think when i get older that i won’t be able to have children i know for a girl who is only 14 shouldn’t be saying that they want kids at such a young age i know i can’t be pregnant because i believe in abstinence having sex is not my priority in life i think they is so much more to life than sex,,, maybe someone will find something out on why most young girls are starting there periods and then stoping thank you and i hope someone can help.

Hi I’m Minnie I’ve had my period since I was eleven and am fourteen now.
I am sexually active and have been for about a year and a half, me and my boyfriend always you protection properly. At the time i had realized I missed three periods and took a pregnancy test in which was negative also at month four and five in which were negative also.
I’ve been having all of the side affects of a period but not having one its now been seven months and I’ve still been takin pregnancy tests as they come out negative, I’m starting to worry about infertility. I’m positive I do not have a STD. But am scared of other possible outcomes. I just want some answers.
Please help!

here is my story hoping and praying someone can help. I’m 22 years old and from the time I was 15 up until a year and a half ago. After getting off the pill I stopped having periods all together and have had no signs of having one. I have been to three doctors and none of them can find anything in my blood work. I’m about to get married and we are soon wanting a baby after. I’m not sure what to do now I feel there is something wrong but everyone just dismisses it. Does anyone have any suggestions??

OMG! THiS iS GOiNG ON WiTH ME 2… i CANT SEE A DR OR ANYTHiNG LiKE THAT… iT WOULD COST SO MUCH… i HAVE A BiLL AT THE ER FOR ABOUT $600.00 OR MORE… i BEEN WiTH MY BOYFRiEND FOR 1 YEAR AND HE WANTS A BABY BUT i DONT THiNK i CAN HAVE ANY… PLEASE HELP ME!!!

hi
I haven’t had my period for 3 months and it really freaked me out. Right now I’m fourteen and I am not sexually active. I’m also not stressed out either. I did some internet searching and found out skipping periods at this age is normal, but I’m still a little scared. I told my mom and she said it’s not that bad and when she comes to see me she will take me to see a doctor. Just some advice…I would tell somebody about this kind of problem as early as possible, your doctor or your parents….its way better getting yelled at or anything else than having to wait a really long time about the problem letting it get worse. Its best to fix the problem in the begining than finding out you have this weird disease thats too late to fix because you were afraid to get help. So go get help now!

hi i had my period since i was 12 i am now 22. i had a baby 7 months ago and i been gettin a period every month sometimes a few days later or earlier. last time i had a period was december its 8 days late im worried and i took 2 preg test, 1 at home and 1 at the clinic..both negative…im worried

I have a question. I skipped one month of pills. i was suppose to start them on 1/4/09 but didnt have extra cash to get them. I was suppose to get my period this past tuesday 1/27, today is the 29th and still have not gotten my period.

Hey I’m 15 and I have only gotten my period 2 times in my whole life. my period has never been regular at all. i got it once when I was 11 and again when I was 13. After that I never got it again. Could someone tell me if I have some kind of disorder or something? I dont have any weight problems or other health issues. Please help, it would be much appreciated!

I am freaking out! I am 21 (almost 22) and have had my period since age 13 pretty regularly. I’ve never had sex without a condom, and the last time I had sex was November 9th. Before thatI got my period November 2nd and then again November 29th. December I had it the 28th- so everything seemed fine. I did not have my period at all the month of January, and it is February 3rd and still no period! I have no symptoms of pregnancy and I’m extremely nervous. I’ve taken one pregnancy test and it came back negative- but if I don’t get my period by next week I am taking another one. I’m sooo worried

I’ve been having the same type of symptoms except I started out with foggy urine that had an odd smell. A couple of days after the cloudiness in my urine went away I started spotting and having bad lower back pain. This is after ending my period ten days prior. The second day into having back pain and spotting the pain in my back got worse and I started bleeding like I would be on my period. The back pain I have been experiencing has gotten worse and it hurts extremely bad and I am still bleeding which brings great concern to me. I have no health Insurance and haven’t yet seen a doctor. Because I have no Insurance I have been avoiding seeing the doctor. Does anyone have ANY helpful diagnosis or help on this case?? Thank you!

As almost everyone else, same story here … I started my period when i was 13, always been very regular. I got pregnant and had my son when i was 21. Even after that, my periods were very regular. Now I’m 26 and me and my husband started trying for a second child, six months later, my period stopped. I took the home pregnancy test, negative. In jan, I took a blood pregnancy test, again negative. My last period was Nov 22 to 27th. Now it’s almost Valentine’s Day and still no period. Since I’m not pregnant the dr can’t get me in until April, which in my opinion is ignorant. I’m so anxious beyond belief to find out what is wrong with me. I’m so very frightened that it could be menopause and I’ll not be able to share the joy with my son of giving him a sibling. Maybe it is for the best, maybe something would have been wrong with my second child if I was able to have another, I just don’t know. I’m so sad about the whole thing I keep trying to cheer myself up, but it doesn’t work. I can’t even go to sleep at night because i’m constantly playing stories in my head as to what could be the problem for my periods to have stopped like they did. and my mood swings are beyond a mood swing, it’s more dr. jekyl and mrs. hyde. I just don’t know what else to do but wait for that apt. in april and hopefully they wont blow me off yet again.

hi well im 18 yrs old iv been on the depo shot for a yr now and i havent had a period in like 10 months but thts not really my concern my consern is tht me and my boyfriend of 3 yrs now are plning on having a baby but alot of people are say being on depo will prevent that is there other options i can do so i am able to have kids

I was on the depo shot for about 2 years. My last one was Nov.2007 and i finally restarted my period the last week of august 2008, it was normal and lasted 5-6 days. Then i started almost exactly 2 weeks later from the first day of the previous but it only lasted that one day and was light. It is now Feb. 2009 and still have not had a period since then. I am not pregnant! I will admit that i have some stressful situations going on but my question is can stress cause you to miss your period for 5+ months or could this still be caused from the depo shot?

I got my first period at 14, by the time I was almost 19, I had only ever had a total of about 5-6 periods in that 5 year span. My mom and I never talked about periods so I never mentioned anythign and didn’t see a doctor about it until I was almost 19. I was diagnosed with PCOS, put on yasmin and it completely regulated me to the point of where I can give you a 12 hour time frame of when I’ll start my period. So fast forward to today – I’m almost 26, have been on the pill for almost 7 years and now, for the second month in a row, instead of a period, I’ve had 2 days of very light spotting instead of my period. I’ve never been pregnant, have no idea of what it feels like to be pregnant and I honestly don’t think I am (my boyfriend and I have regular unprotected sex because of me being on the pill, plus I’ve been told by my doctor that he doesn’t know if I’ll be able to get pregnant on my own and wont know until I decide to try adn go off the pill) but this week for the first time I bought a jar of pickles and was eating them from teh jar all week – and I never eat pickles. I’m trying not to stress, but luckily my yearly gyno appt is next week so I’ll know next week if I’m pregnant or is my body is just suddenly out of whack….

My period hasn’t come for 6months now. I am 16 but not sexually active so there is no chance i cud be pregnant.. What should i do??

I am 26 and have never had a reg period. I have had no period for a 7 months and before that had it for a year stright. My Dr said I had PCOS. they tried me on hormones pills and that did not go well had a ton of side affect. Tried Birth control but I want to have kids.

to all those who have skipped alot of periods…

i’m 16 and about a year ago i had missed about 6months of periods .. i got pretty worried but knew i couldn’t be pregnant as i hadnt had sex.. so i just tried not to think about it.. anyways.. since then i havent missed a period.. they came back on their own

i’ve been told periods can be irregular and can be skipped for long periods of time by my health and social care teacher best to nip the doctors though if you are really worried about it.. i know how it feels to be that anxious but i doubt there’s anything to worry about good luck x

Hi i havent had a period for six mos. my husband and i have been TTC for two years now i have seen a dr. but still no period and still no + sign but i have a really high sex dive and no probs with vaginal dryness at all so …….

I am 36 and have not had a period for 13 weeks. I have never been on any kind of birth control and my periods have always been somewhat irregular, although my last 3 periods were each 3 weeks apart. I have taken several pregnancy tests – all come back negative. I went to see an ob/gyn and $60 later I still don’t know anything. Dr. brushed me off and said all my hormone levels were normal, but refused to address the issue that I had not had a period in 11 weeks at the time. He wouldn’t even examine me, order a blood test, ultrasound, nothing. I wanted to scream and tell him that not having a period in 11 weeks is NOT normal! I’ve had some symptoms of pregnancy, but never having been pregnant before, I don’t know what to expect, and each of those symptoms can mean something else entirely. Tried to schedule appt with a different dr, but they’re trying to tell me to see my primary care physician. I can’t seem to find a dr. to take this seriously! I can’t take anymore time off work and my husband and I really worry that there could be something really wrong and we may never find out, cuz drs don’t want to take the time and listen. I just don’t know what to do.

i know how most of you feel. i am going through the same things. except i was treated for PID (pelvic inflamitory disease) 2 months ago.. but i feel as if i was mistreated.. havent had a period in 6 months am not pregnant.. my husband and i have tryed for 2 years now and have had 2 miscarages.. have never taken birth control.. i recently read up on endometriosis and found out that i have almost every symptom and have done hours of research and now i am making a doctors appointment .. the website it http://www.endofound.org if any of you ladies wanna check it out.. this is a very hard time in my life since i wish to have children. i hope all the best for all of you..

Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is the medical term for not having periods. There are two types of amenorrhea:

Primary Amenorrhea is exceptionally rare – it’s not having started periods by the age of 16. This can be caused by: abnormalities in the cervix, uterus or vagina (such as a narrow cervix, double uterus or transverse vaginal septum); late onset of puberty; and pregnancy.

Secondary Amenorrhea is much more common and there are loads of reasons for it. Missing your period isn’t officially amenorrhea until you’ve missed it for three months in a row, but the causes of missing one period and missing more than one are generally the same.

Common causes of missing a period (or amenorrhea)
To menstruate, the uterus, cervix, vagina and ovaries, as well as the pituitary gland and hypothalamus (which are located in the brain and control the hormones which cause menstruation), must be working normally. There are lots of reasons for these to not be functioning as they usually do, some more serious than others.

Pregnancy: is the most common cause of amenorrhea. Periods are not expected to resume until after childbirth and breast-feeding women may also find that they don’t have periods.

Recently started periods: For about a year after your first period it’s not uncommon for your cycle to be very erratic or even to miss your period for several months.

Lifestyle:
1. Major changes in your life, (new job, sudden massive workload, bereavement) can create enough stress to make you to miss your period.
2. Rapid weight gain or loss can cause amenorrhea. In particular amenorrhea is associated with malnutrition or low body fat caused by eating disorders.
3. Too much exercise, often connected with heavy dieting, can also stop your periods. Just because you’re really fit, stopping your periods isn’t any healthier. Periods are a sign of your body working properly.
4. In some cases heavy smoking can also be the cause of amenorrhea.

Hey guys, please read Same Boat’s comment as its pretty helpful and accurate.

Other things to note which might also help you guys is that if you have missed your period (1-3 periods) and you took a urine pregnancy test (whether at home or at the doctor’s), this can be inaccurate and multiple negative tests can also be inaccurate i.e 3 negative tests can be inaccurate. The only way to know for sure is to have an ultrasound, because even blood tests can be negative (although this is less common than a false negative urine test).

Yes! As long as semen (and thus, sperm) has entered your vagina, you can be pregnant. If you humped with clothes on and no fluids went into your vagina – you are NOT pregnant. If he pulled out before he ejaculated, YES! you can be pregnant because ‘precum’ contains sperm (and YES he did precum).

If you are overweight, have lots of acne, notice a bit of facial hair, painful irregular heavy periods or no periods at all – Check out PCOS – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome – as a reason for your absent periods (or amenorrhoea). Dont have those symptoms, but other ladies in your family have it, then check it out as well.

Also, pregnancy sysmptoms not only vary between women, but they can also vary between different pregnancies. Pregnancy number one might have all the classic symptoms – no periods, nausea, weight change, breast changes (size/tenderness), tiredness, back pains etc but same woman and pregnancy number 2 may have NO symptom at all. This is very common. So just because you dont ‘feel pregnant’ because you dont have the ’same symptoms’ as before, it does not mean you arent pregnant.

If you have had a D+C before in the past (whether from having a growth in your uterus/womb or having an abortion or an incomplete miscarriage and your doctor had to go in down there and suck and curette the left over contents of your womb), and your period is either missing, or your periods are suddenly very light/irregular or during the time your periods were due you get cramping but no bleed (all from the time since the operation), you could have what is known as ‘Asherman’s syndrome’. This is scarring in the uterus wall that prevents a lining from forming or getting the walls of your uterus to ’stick’ together so blood cant go through to you cervix and out. Its rare but more common the more you have D+C (e.g multiple abortions)

Saying ‘i have no cash to see a doctor’ is a pretty poor excuse if you think you are pregnant and are searching here for reasons to convince yourself you are not. In the end, if you are pregnant, you’ll need to see a doctor anyway, unless you plan to have the baby quietly at home where the risk of disease and complications are so high, you and your baby could die and the cost of the funeral for your relatives is an even bigger burden… and even if you went out ok (unlikely), but because you never had a health checkup or took the necessary diet etc, your baby could be born riddled with sickness and it would cost you a lot more.. Also, look for a woman’s clinic or a maternity clinic as they can be free/cheaper.

To those ladies who are actively trying to get pregnant:

Whether you want to call it “god” or a “higher” power, your destiny is already laid out for you whether you believe it or not. If you are having sex there is NO WAY to force or prevent a pregnancy. What is meant to happen will happen whether you like it or not. Whatever is meant to happen will happen whether your on birth control or not, whether you use condoms or not, or even a combination of the both. If you are meant to have a child it will happen regardless of what your doctors tell you about your infertility rate. In the end your final destination is already laid out for you. There is absolutely nothing you can do to change that. You can choose how you get there, but it doesn’t matter what path you take because they will all lead to the same spot. Just like driving to your house, there are multiple routes you can take, but they all lead you home.

My doc told me that you can ovulate without having a period and have a period and not ovulate, who knows?

I havent had my period in 1 week and im staritng to get worried ive had my periods for about a year now in september and im worried? what sohuld i do?

this sounds very much like PCOS. i started getting my periods when i was 12. i went on bcp at 17 because i had cramps so bad they would drop me to my knees. i was on the pill for 2.5 years before i lost insurance and couldnt afford to pay for them. 2 months after i stopped taking them i realized i was a week late. sure enough, i was pregnant. i had my daughter in august 2004. when i went for my 6 week check-up, i had just gotten my first pp period so i got the depo shot. i HATED it. my arm hurt so bad i could barely hold my daughter for almost a week. not to mention making me sick the entire first week. and i would cramp so bad but not bleed every month. i tried going through planned parenthood for pills but they wouldnt give them to me due to my history of migraines. i figured since i was a single mom and wasnt having sex, i didnt need bc anyway so i used nothing until aug 2005 when i went back to my ob/gyn and got put back on the pill. slowly my weight started to climb. by may 2006 i decided no more pills. i was getting huge from them (i still hadnt lost the baby weight and now i was gaining more). i got married in july 2006 and my husband and decided to try for another baby. i still had regular periods and everything seemed fine. i would occasionally be a little late but i figured it was just one of the changes after having a baby. before my daughter i was like clockwork. in june 2007 i was diagnosed with PCOS. since then i have put on 50lbs. i was getting my period fairly regularly until last august. after my august period i went 3 months without, had one in november, and its been almost 9 months and i havent had another. my gyne said that weight increase is a common side-effect of pcos, but the weight gain itself can make the pcos worse, and cause irregular periods or make them cease altogher.

I am 20 years old, and I am also missing my periods. I am now 4 months late for my period. I tried 4/5 pregnancy tests all within the first and second month of being late, all of which came back negative. I thought I had started my period end of June after going to the loo but nothing came of it, and the same again a few days ago..But again, nothing at all came of it..Both times I just had small amounts of blood in my discharge.

I have always been regular with my periods, give or take a day. I started my period aged 9, so I’ve really gotten to understand my body and how it functions, so this has really thrown me. Of course I understand bodies change over time, but seems a bit dramatic. I was put on the pill when I was 16 due to extremely heavy periods, which caused me to be physically sick and bed ridden for the first 2 days of each period. Total nightmare. The pill fixed that problem for me, but I stopped taking that a good long while ago.

I have had problems in the past (roughly 3 years ago..Suffered for a year before I decided to do anything about it), with my lower abdomen. I was taken into hospital with extremely painful cramps, the first doctor who saw me wanted me to have numerous tests done..Once I was sent to the GYN ward to start my series of tests, the consultants on the ward there gave me my first smear to test for pregnancy and STIs etc..Then I was sent home without having all the other tests that the first doctor wanted me to have. Still flares up from time to time.
I have also had 3 questionable periods, where as at the end of each *something* came away..Something fleshy. At each time, I’ve kind of put it to the back of my head, trying not to read too much into it and buried my head in the sand..Although on the last occasion I did show my mum (Cringe factor! But I needed an opinion)and she kept questioning me on whether I could’ve been pregnant, of course I just said no out of fear of an ear bashing. I believe these may have been miscarriages..If so, why? Especially 3 times?! This is something I am going to ask my doctor.

I went to see my doctor Monday of last week, about my missed periods. He seemed very concerned, he asked to feel my tummy..He felt the sides where my felopian tubes are, then central lower abdomen twice, which was painful which he could tell from my face followed with asking me if it hurt. I do not know if he felt anything, but I guess he cant really say until he knows for sure. I sent for me to have tests done the following day which included blood, a urine sample and swabs taken. He sent those off with URGENT stamped on them. I have my follow up appointment this Thursday for my results and next steps. I am very worried, with reading up on all the different possibilities and past issues. I have yet to tell the doctor about those past issues, it wasnt something I’d thought about or clued together until after.

Sorry to ramble on. Just thought I would contribute..Let you all know there are more people out there with these problems too. It’s horrible to feel alone in something like this.

OMG I’m hypothyroidism too and i’ve had the exact same probs! but the last blood work had shown that my levels were abnormal so they adjusted my dosage to 2 mgs so it may be the new meds they have me on?

Hi.Well i hevent got my period either for 2 months and i have take pregnancy test and it cames out negative..and right now am living with my boyfrind and i am sexully active. And most of the times he finish inside…and i wonder why my period hasn’t come if am not even pregnant..can somebody tell why.

that happens to me too…but im just 11 year old and got my period for like 2 months then stopped…….

well maybe your irregular…

Carissa,

What did you find out from your doctor?

This comment is particularly for Louisa…I am 34. I did not get my first cycle until I was 16, then not again for 9 months…and throughout my life longer and longer spans between. My, now, husband and I thought that I would never conceive and wer without birth control for 6 years. I conceive my daugther after all of that time and having two cyles (three years went by without one and she was conceived with no period at all!). I have PCOS, an underactive thyroid (Hashimotos), Fybrocystic Breasts and now they think I have Endometriosis! I thin I may be pregnant as we speak and have had no period for five years! DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!! I am lving proof that there are miracles. I did not go on the pill like the doctors wanted…instead I did a liver and kidney cleanse (a proper one, not the Master Cleanse crap you see), lost some wieght, and started juicing for fertility and the liver. I believe with my whole heart that it was my desire and this that brought me my little miracle! I think that you need to prepare yourself mind and body and it will happen!

..oh yes, and I was told from age 18 onward that I would never be able to have children without medical intervention…less than one percent chance of conceiving biologically!

ohh my i am soo scared i havent had my period in 2 or 3 months and i am 16yrs old i am soo scared

Hi,

I can’t quite believe how mamy of us have the same problem. Here is my story, so you don’t give up hope:-)
I am 28, always had a big gaps between my periods, having them once or twice a year…Went to doctors and all tests came back fine. Then I went on the pills and had them every month, then I stopped taking them and no period for months again.. I was told I will have problems to concieve or might have to have surgery to help concieve. I continued being sexually active with my partner without any contraception thinking that I would never get pregnant anyway. At last I got period after nine long months and a couple months later I discovered I was PREGNANT! My son is now 2 years old and since the birth I had maybe 5 periods. We are now hoping for another baby and who knows, fingers crossed, we might be lucky again ..
Don’t give up the hope! Good luck!

I have almost always had issues with my period or lack there of. For a year or so it was normal then it just went away only to show up every blue moon. The only way I have a period is if I take birth control pill so that in itself tells me that I have a hormone imbalance.(I think) The doctors would tell me at first it was because I was underweight then when I had gained too much weight, they said it’s because I was obese. Anyways, after years of never having a period except for 1 or 2 every year or two I wondered if I had fertility problems. Within 2 weeks of trying, I was pregnant. Just shows you that you do not have to have an actual “period” to conceive. I don’t know how that is but it seems no doctor I have ever seen knows either. I’m still looking for a doctor that cares enough to find out why so many of us have this same problem, what it is and how it is truly effecting our health.

Im 30 yrs old i have always have a regular cycle i have 2 kids. it took my husband and i a few months to get pregnant with our second child, ive been on the pill for almost 3 years since having my daughter. We want to have another child so i stopped taking the pills. it has been 3 months now and no period and i took about 4 pregnancy test and the all came back negative, My doctor said it normally takes a while for ur period to return after taking the pill. But has never happen to me before; i normally resume my regular cycle when i stop using the pill in the past. Can someone tell me wat u think i really worried.

Hi girls,
I’ve been having similer problems, i have been on the pill since i was 15, when i was about 27 i started having problems with spotting etc, eventally the dr suggested i came off the pill when i was 29, which i did, my husband and i wanted to start for a baby soon anyway. Since i stopped taking the pill i havent had a period for a year! I’ve been back to the drs and had tests, and am due to go back in November. I’ve been really worried and just want my body to work, i’m very healthy, normal weight, go to the gym etc, so why is my body not working properly!! Its good to know i’m not the only one! Good luck to all of you.

i am 23, my periods have never been on time but i have always had one. i had my son at the age of 21 and after that my periods have been so out of wack. a few months ago it took me 6 weeks and 3 days to start my period and the next time it was 7 weeks and 1 day and now it has been over 9 weeks and i still havent started. i thought i was pregnant cause me and my husban have been wanting another baby but i took 3 test and they all came back negative. so i went to the doc. and they just put me on birthcontrol and i still havent started. im really upset cause were wanting a baby so bad and i cant get a period. i glad im not the only person having this problem. i hope we all find answers and get the news that we want to hear. good luck to all.
