ello. I have a big question. I am 23 years old, I wieght 124lbs. I have not been on birth control since dec 05, I have been married for two years.My husband and I are trying to have a baby. I am always irregular but never over 45-60 days. But it seems to me like they have been geting further apart starting 3 cycles ago. the 1st one was 63 days then 65 days and I have not had a peroid since june 26 making this cycle 75 days so far. I am not pregnant though we are hoping. I have taken several preganacy test (I just took on a week ago). I am not sure what is going on in my body. Nothing has changed in my life to cause stress and my eating habits are the same. I am very worried and not sure what to do. What do you think is causeing me not not mensturate? Has anyone else had this happen before? or do I have a condition that is cause this ? I am planning on going to the doctor next week, I just dont want to go and the doctor write it off as me just worring too much.

They wont write it off, doctors love to prescribe all sorts of medications in an attempt to control your natural cycle when it doesnt fit into their ideal standards.
Have you been using ovulation strips to see if your ovulating? You can buy like 100 of them from medical wholsalers on ebay for about 20 bucks. THey work great, i used them to find out when i was ovulating (i have a loooong 40 day cycle and didnt think i ovulated).
Anyway, if you're trying to get pregnant its possible that the stress of that alone is enough to lengthen your cycle. But in this case I'd say that if you're still ovulating then there isnt anything to worry about.
Doctors like to MAKE your body cycle on a 28 day schedule, or as close to that as possible. Its probable that they will tell you that you're most likely not ovulating (they tell that to anyone who cycles are longer than 40 days.. they told me the same thing) and put you on a series of medications. First they will check your uterus, your ovaries, run a few tests, probably do an ultrasound, and pull blood to test your hormone levels. Then they will put you on something like birthcontrol or clomid to regulate you,or make you ovulate so you get pregnant quicker.
It can be a stressful time, since your body's natural reaction is to try to reglate itself against the medications. So they'll have to retry the dosage, run more tests, and tell you to keep trying to get pregnant for atleast 6 months and let them know if nothing happens.
If i were you, i would just exercise enough, eat a healthy diet, and have sex. I skipped my period ever other month for a long time, and then once for an entire 9 months (i wasnt even sexually active, so i certainly wasnt pregnant). iam 23 too, same weight, same situation, except we're pregnant now.
my body just took some time to find that 40 day cycle, it was all over the map until then. My doctor tried medication, but it screwed me up for over a year. I quit taking it and just went on with life. We started trying for a baby and after one cycle i was pregnant.
Stress and over perscribed medication can be a nightmare.

I have heard of women stopping periods when they started exercising really a lot. Could that be your problem?
I suspect, however, that you are not ovulating, since you've had long cycles for a prolonged time. Get a good workup from an OB/GYN doctor. Your prolactin levels might be too high, but that is just one possibility. If you do not ovulate, you can't get pregnant, so you need to find out whether you are ovulating - and if not, why not.
If your doctor brushes you off, get another doctor. You have a valid concern, and any doctor who refuses to take it seriously should be your ex-doctor! (But if you are going to a family doctor/internist, s/he might want you to go to an OB/GYN for evaluation rather than trying to deal with it her/himself, and that's fine.)

The best way is to see an OBGYN regarding the menustration, but it could be the change in your hormones not necessarily stress, eating habits, etc.

I would definatly wait except you leave out your interval to begin freaking out. When you simply had intercourse the day prior to this, there's no way which you can find out correct this minute if your pregnant.

See a doctor. No one can examine you from words you typed on a screen.
