Some women stay irregular with periods until they are 18 or older, or even until they have a baby. If it is a worry for you go to the Doctor and discuss it. Are you sure you are not pregnant If you think you have hypothroidism you should be treated (with tablets) PAP smears are very important and you don't need to worry about them, doctors do them all the time and its doesn't bother them so it shouldn't bother you. Take care

Ayurveda offers some solution; see

Nowadays, many in age group 18 to 32 are loosing this monthly reminder due to hormone imbalances. other problems are also discussed at:

And since direct link to following info i cant give, i will give excerpt:
This woman’s friend has a 25-year-old daughter who has
gone into early menopause. Can anyone offer any
advice?
“I would be very cautious accepting such a diagnosis
without looking at diet and lifestyle”, says one
helpful reader. “I was told on several occasions from
my mid 20s to mid 30s that I was in early menopause,
but I had my son when I was 35 with no medical
intervention”. She points out that liver function is
particularly important in menopausal symptoms, and
suggests assessing your diet. She also recommends
acupuncture, reflexology, homeopathy and the herb
agnus castus.
Dana also feels diet is the key. Her 27-year-old
daughter wasn’t getting her period, so she took her to
see a nutritionist, who told her to cut out all wheat,
dairy and corn products. Six months later, she got
her period back. Now she can tolerate dairy, but not
wheat or corn. “Sometimes food allergies cause havoc
to the body”, she says. “Consult a local nutritionist
who is familiar with food allergies and women's
issues... it's worth a try.”
Finally we have a great story from Mary. She was
diagnosed with early menopause at the age of 30 and
was told by her doctor she was infertile as a result.
Once she got over the initial shock, Mary had a “life
de-clutter” and started living life to the full. A
trip to Ibiza, a half marathon and a sky dive later,
she fell pregnant!

I would definitely go to the doctor. If you haven't had your period for that many months, it could be something very serious. I know that going to the OB/GYN can be uncomfortable or embarrassing but it's worth it. I'm not trying to scare you but it could save your ability to have children and possibly(if it gets this severe) your life. It's only going to get worse. I hope you decide to see someone about this matter.

pap smear doesnt hurt, get a woman doctor if you are shy of men. If you are very thin, or dieting or involved in very active sports these things can mess with your period, but it really should be checked.

Go to your gyno. Get past the fear six months is way to long to go with this kind of problem.
