what do i do if i have not started my period in like almost 6 months?

Answer 1

Go to the doctor. unless you are too young to have established a regular cycle, then dont worry too much, but still, you should have a chat with your family doctor.

Answer 2

OK the baby answer is getting old.

If no baby on the way - then yes it is a hormone, but no "the pill" is not the cure all.

The reality is that most women who have period problems usually have one of two issues. 1.) low body fat or 2.) low fat consumption. Hormones are made by fats ingested in the body. If the wrong type or amount of fats are being ingested, then the body has a hard time regulating the hormones produced. In addition often times severe stress will cause this as the hormone precursors are pushed into what is known as the adrenal cascade - this is where the body uses the hormone precursors usually used for estrogen and progesterone and begins using them to assist with stress managment hormones.

A simple adrenal stess profile - a urinalysis any doctor can order, but usually not done by any one other than a doc practicing functinal medicine - will let you know how your hormones are working.

Regardless - if it is a fat intake problem - I would recommend supplementing the diet with some fish oil (if not preg.) or with flax seed oil. Both are wonderful for a host of conditions and support normal hormone production.

As always, a non-expensive, simple blood test by any doc can rule out the more serious issues - and they should be ruled out.

Best of luck

Answer 3

Is it normal for you to skip periods? Some women go a long time without menstrating natuarally but if you're not one of them something is definitely wrong. Are you extremely underweight? Could you be pregnant? Have you just recovered from an illness? Are you nursing? Are you on birth control? If you answered yes to any of these you might be ok. Otherwise, please take a day off work and go to the doctor. You probably have a hormonal problem that can be easily corrected with medication. Stress can cause your period to be a few days or weeks late, but never 6 months. Take care.

Answer 4

Check with a doctor. Factors could be due too your age - onset of menopause. No? Perhaps dieting is involved or lack of nutritional needs resulting in changes in your bodily functions.

Stress can lead to lack of menses, if you have just had a child ceasing menses for several months is normal.

Obviously pregnancy is not the issue otherwise you would have definite signs this is the reason.

Again, be seen by a medical professional as there are a number of reasons that this delay exists.

Good luck

Answer 5

I would see a doctor asap. I would also recommend taking a home pregnancy test today. If you are under a lot of stress or are extremely physically active your body might stop having periods. Also, if you are on birth control check what type you are on. If you don't take the placebo pills and just keep taking the ones with hormones it will trick your body into thinking it's pregnant and prevent you from having a period.

Answer 6

Pregnancy test if you have been sexually active. Have you lost or gained alot of weight recently - anorexia/stress can cause periods to stop. Maybe a hormorne deficiency, or something like polycystic ovaries etc. Were you started on contraception like a depot injection ? Need to visit a doc to get a thorough history to find out whats going on.

Answer 7

well you should definately go to the doctor because it isnt good at all. I just went to my doctor because i hadnt had it in 3 months and she prescribed me some medicine to take for ten days, its call medroxy (provera).so first you take a pregnancy test and if its nedative you take this pills for ten days and your period comes..I had a pap smear done too. you should go see a obst/gynecologist because there might be something seriously wrong. Dont be scared, im sure its nothing..stress,weight gain/loss,too much exercise can stop you period sometimes so dont be too worried but you should go to the doctor to rule things like std's out. If you have more questions email me @[e-mail]

Answer 8

You should definately see a doctor!! Once you have gotten your period, having unexplained missed periods is not normal. There may be a number of reasons this is happening, from pregnancy to cancer. Get to a gynecologist or yur family doc soon.

Answer 9

See your gyn doctor. It is BAD to skip periods because your uterus needs to shed monthly otherwise the lining of it will thicken and THEN you can bleed uncontrollably for a few months! That isn't good!! Book an appointment with your gyn to know what's happening.

Answer 10

You are probably not pregnant or you would say so. The doctor can give you birth control pills for a couple of months or so to level your hormones out.

Answer 11

IF you are undernourished you may not have a period. it is a body defense mechanism. If you are sexully active you may be pregnant. Other conditions may cause this to happen. I would recommend a pregnancy test and a visit to your gynecologist. Depending on your age you should talk to your parents.
