I am a 25 year old female and I have missed my periods for 3 months. I did pregnancy tests 5 times over this period, but all the tests were negative. I have gained weight in the last few months - around 10 - 15 lbs. I am worried about the reason for not getting periods for so long. Normally my periods do get delayed but they have never been delayed this long.

I will appreciate any advice/information on this. Thanks.

My wife has done the same thing. We called some health line once and they daid go see the doctor as well. We neevr went and shes still alive. No one ever says what it could be besides hearing stress like mentioned above.

Just our experience. She is back to normal but than again less stressful situation.

This is in no way saying don't bother seeing a doc.

I wish more people would layout what it could be than say oh my god go to a doctor fast like yesterday. Yes health problems can be scary but rational answers can be more calming way to answer the question.

Mine are delayed sometimes too, and I get scared like that. Usually it's during a time of really intense stress. Worrying about maybe being pregnant can stress you out too. The only way to get it all straightened out is to go to a doctor. That's it. You need a pap to make sure that there's no cists in the way of the opening for the red stuff to come out. You must see a doctor right away and get a blood test. Don't delay it anymore. Go to planned Parenthood or whatever you need to. I'm 29, and have always had this issue. I freak myself out, and need to take my own advice. Just relax and be okay with whatever happens. I hope I've been some help.

The tests could be wrong too. If you're eating wrong or if you take the test after drinking a ton of water and not "first pee in the morning". Maybe you have a life growing inside you. Either way... See a doctor.

Missing your period for 3 months in a row is called Amenorrhea if you would like to do a little research on it yourself.

It could be caused by stress, major changes in your life, diet, a mental health disorder, a serious illness, a hormonal condition, etc.

The best thing to do would be to see a doctor, but until then, I suggest you look at the site in the sources I cited, and try to maybe narrow down what you think you may have. Best thing would be to see a doctor as soon as you can. Don't stress out, and don't worry. Good luck :)

Pregnancy tests from the stores are only so accurate. Many times they can say no when the reality is yes. You have to go see a doctor. If you really aren't pregnant and are missing your period it can be real serious. Go as soon as you can.

Its normal to be unnormal when you gain weight. The waight messes with your hormones and that's why you have the delay. Talk to your gyno or a doctor. Most likely the'll prescribe a higher dosage of birth control or hormonal (pills). Good luck!

There are other, more serious, reasons for missed periods. I suggest you don't delay any longer and make an appointment with your OB/Gyn to find the cause.

Arre you stressed out in anyway, did you change your dietary habbits, have you started any new medications. This may be one of the reaosn why you're late. But you should go see your doctor to expres your concerns.

Get to a doctor right away. It could be another serious health problem.

First off all, talk to a doctor.

Second, it might be stress. My girlfriend went through the same thing. It might be nothing but check it out anyways.
