If I'm Not Pregnant, Then Why Hasn't My Period Started?
Monday August 25, 2008
One of the questions I'm asked most often is "Why is my period late?" Although, pregnancy is the most common cause of absence of menstruation (amenorrhea), many times, the women will also assure me that they are definitely not pregnant. So, what else can cause an absence of menstruation?


STRESS, worrying about being pregnant, a new diet, weight changes, being a teenager still having irregular periods, being ill, or having a new birth control or a new medication.
we’re still worrying about being pregnant….
this is the same problem with me but I’m only 13 and I was suposed to get mine yesterday so y is it late? Is it just because I’m a teen cause this should my 4th time getting it and I’m can’t be pregnent because I will never have it till I’m married so why is it a day late?
you are only 13, you’re definitely not pregnant if you’ve never had sex. and you won’t always have it on the same day. you’ll have to wait a while before you can really say which day you’ll start. i’m 17 and i can’t even say which day i’ll start
I’m 15 and have been having my period since i was 11. After a while I worked out the math and figured out that it came every 22 days. This week it didn’t come…It was supposed to be here on wednesday and i finally got it today on sunday. I knew I wasn’t pregnant because I never had sex and won’t till I’m married. I looked it up and it said It could be from Stress(which I’ve had a lot of recently) or increase in exersise (which I’ve also done) so I’m guessing mine was just late from that. If it is only your fourth time Don’t worry about it. When my period first came I had it for six months and then it went away for 3 and then came back again.
im 18, not prego and i would say im stressed a lot but idk how to change it.
i am 16 and i havent had my period in two months… i know im not pregnant thought considering ive only had sex once and it was like 6 months ago… sooo whats wrong. i have been super stressed but can that really keep me from not having my period for two months! and not having it is stressing me out even more! what do i do!?
I’m 17 i just started having sex in june with my boyfriend an we have always used a condom plus i take acutane and have to have a pregnancy test every month so i know im not pregnant. i am not stressed either. i am over weight and my period is irregular but i still get one every month i just dont know the day its going to come. im also on vyvance and cymbalta and zyrtec but they have never effected my period and today is july 13 and i have not had my period since april whats wrong im so confused

I’m 16 I missed my period about two months back then I had one the month after and started again yesterday I have been vomiting early in the morning feeling sick constantly n other words have signs of being preg but I never had sex what could it be?????

I’m 14 and I first got my period in January 2009, then missed February, march, April and may I had it but June, July and august I haven’t. I am now getting worried because I haven’t had sex ever and I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Can anyone help?
I’m 15. I’ve never had sex, but my boyfriend has fingered me before. I know that you can’t get pregnant from fingering because it is impossible but I haven’t had my period in 40 days. Usually they are 30-35 days apart. What’s wrong? I’m afraid that he possibly had sperm on his fingers, but the chances of that are very very unlikely. What should I do?
Im 12 and I had my period whiles ago; I have had my period every single month, but I missed august and I never had sex. Please someone tell me what is going on .
me and my boyfriend had sex on sunday night and we used a condom and it broke and i have been really stressing this and a friend of mine said that i don’t need to be stressed out so much because it supposedly lowers your chance of being pregnant?? does it really work or does he just not know what he is talking about??? i need some advice
hi im 18 I first started having periods at age 11..I was never regular when i was 15 i asked my doctor if it was ok that i wasnt regular. She said yes because i was still young… even after that i was still never regular.the longest ive been without a period was 5 months.. Jumping to the present on Dec.25 08 i started my period and ended it on Jan 1, 2009.. so i figured that i would have one alteast next month well ive NEVER had sex or anythin and the months kept passing and still hadnt have one till Sept. 18, 09… im kinda freaked out because its the longest ive been without one…im really concerned should i go to a doctor or what?? I would like an opinion because in the future i want kids…
im 15 and ive never had sex but my period is over 3 months late, but my periods have always been irregular and ive skipped full months before but never this long. my boyfriend gave me a handjob a few months ago, but only that one time. could that have made me pregnant??? i havent gained any weight and i feel fine. PLEASE help this is killing me everyday i think about it!
I had a baby in sept/08..had my period just fine until april/09 …but i havent had a period since and i took pregnancy test and they were negative..and took a blood pregnancy test in aug/09 and it was negative could ive gotten pregnant since my test?….i also thin i have hormonal probs..i gained quite some weight after i had the baby
so i’m 15, my period is usually regular but by now i should be getting over it, and it hasn’t even started yet. I’m not stressed out so that can’t be it. I’m cramping up like i usually would in the middle of my period. I don’t think I’m pregnant though kuz I haven’t had sex in over 6 months. but my boyfriend and I are both worried that its one of those “I didn’t know I was pregnant” things… How can I find out whats wrong with me?

Hi, I’m 15. I had my first period when I was 13. I had it monthly for a few months and then my period became irregular (once every 2-3 months) but now I’m 15 and I haven’t had a period for almost a year now (never had sex). I know it’s common to be irregular but could periods this far apart be okay?
