I havn't had my period in three months. What's wrong?

Question

First of all, I am definitely not pregnant. This has happened to me before when I was in my pre-teen years, but why is this happening now? I'm nineteen years old. My menstual cycles should be normal now. help. I'm starting to miss my periods.

Answer 1

I completely agree with redneckwoman. I was having problems with my intestinal tract actually along with cramps and I would go for 3 or 4 months without a period. My doctors kept sending me to gastroenterologists because they thought it had to do with my bowels, why, I have no clue. Finally, one realized that my periods were off and sent me back to my ob/gyn. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 3 months ago. They think I have had it since I was 14, I am now 20. My endometrial lining was wrapping itself around my intestines causing the bowel problems, bloating, and cramps. There is no such thing as "normal cramping" or "normal missed periods" after you pass your first year or so of your first period is what I am learning in pharmacy school and that is also what my gyno said. However, we are not doctors on here and I am not fully licensed in pharmacy yet and am not nearly qualified to tell you what you have. So the sooner you get yourself checked out, the better. Good luck, I wish you the best.

A woman's body is constantly changing. "Normal" doesn't happen for everyone, in fact "normal" is usually not normal for most women. A friend of mine is 25 and she has always had a very irregular cycle, sometimes she won't have a period for months at a time (sometimes I envy her) If you are on birth control that could cause you to miss your period. Also malnutrition, stress, and changes in your environment such as moving from a hot place like Arizona to a cold place like Michigan. Since you are still in your teens (even though it's your last teen year) its still possible for you to have irregular cycles and nothing be wrong. If you are concerned about it definitely see your doctor or gynecologist (you could even just call the nurse's station at your clinic) Some causes the doctors don't often tell you about for missing your period is that you aren't eating enough healthy food. If your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs it will protest and give you problems like this. Or if it's being fed a lot of chemicals that are added to most junk food your body can react by getting cancers, viruses, and many other problems. Having a healthy balanced diet has proven to cure so many irritating aliments that so many people (especially Americans) complain about. My advice, cut out the sweets and junk food, drink lots of water, exercise and go see your doctor for some blood tests, thyroid test, tests for hormone levels and possibly an ultrasound to make sure nothing is damaged down there. Personally I think that is the area on a womans body she must take extra care of, it is so important to stay healthy down there.

Answer 3

The first thing to rule out is pregnancy. The only sure way is to not be having sex. If you are sexually active have a blood hcg test to make sure you are not. That is a hormone in the blood that checks for pregnancy levels.

I understand the not having cycle problem. But working in Ob-Gyn for many years doctors advise it is normal for a woman to skip a period here and there. But once you get to the 3 month period you should be seen. It could be a number of things. Ovarian cysts, hormone irregularions, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. If you exercise and are underweight or even overweight this can do it too.

Once all things are ruled out the one thing a doctor may do to regulate your cycle if you want to have them like clockwork is to be put on birth control pills. This will regulate your periods within time. If this doesnt work the next thing would be progesterone which is a hormone. It is important to have regular cycles after 3 months.

See a doctor to be checked out. It could be a number of things. Hope everything turns out ok.

Answer 4

It's common for a woman's period not to regulate itself even into her 20s. If your 19, you're probably at college or living alone for the first time? It's very common for people living away from home for the first time to stop menstrating. It could be a combination of stress and poor diet. A friend of mine had the same problem during university, she was a virgin so definitely not pregnant, she just wasn't eating the right foods enough.

You need to see your doctor to determine why you are not menstrating and what you can do to fix it. This has gone on long enough! Good luck.

Answer 5

Happens to me somtimes too and I am 23 with nothing medically wrong no eating disorders either.

Stress or irregular sleeping habits could be one cause. Take some time for some good rest and relaxation, eat some good green veggies and some fish. That was the advice given to me and it seems to work. There are also some good teas out there like chamomile that help regulate when its late for no good reason. Health food stores also have stuff called Don quai which is some kind of herb suppliment that sometimes helps.
Heres is a good tea website: http://www.carringtontea.com/shop/agora.cgi?cartlink=Tea_Remedies.html
Hope this helps!

Answer 6

you want to bypass to a regular practitioner for an exam. you've something from a nutrition deficiency to endemetriosis to a cyst or maximum cancers. being pregnant checks can be incorrect. that is amazingly in all danger that it has no longer something to do with being sexually energetic and that there is something else incorrect. if you're no longer ovulating you received't have classes. there are diverse motives that contain each thing from rigidity to something significant; purely a medical evaluation is going to be able to make certain why and that is extra efficient to make certain as quickly as a possibility so as that perfect remedy might want to be taken.

Answer 7

i had the same problem at your age doll ad mine has never been ,and still goes in spurts but i have cancer ,ovarian,and that may be what you have as well babe ,please for your sake go to a OBGYN you are too young i was diagnosed at 16 i'm 34 now sweetness,but then again some women just have problems that could be a diet you are on or several other things ,if you changed your eating habits that could be the culprit ,but i do wish you the best of luck in all that you do sweetness,have a great week

Answer 8

This could be bad and could affect you having children. This happened to my cousin when she was 17...she was a virgin but started missing periods. Turns out there was something wrong with her and she can't have children because she didnt think to get it checked out until a year later! So GET. IT. CHECKED. OUT.

And make sure you're not taking any weird medications.

Best of luck :-)

Answer 9

Amenorrhea( missed period) can have many causes. Primary amenorrhea can be the result of hormonal imbalances, psychiatric disorders, eating disorders, malnutrition, excessive thinness or fatness, rapid weight loss, body fat content too low, and excessive physical conditioning. Intense physical training prior to puberty can delay menarche (the onset of menstruation). Every year of training can delay menarche for up to five months. Some medications such as anti-depressants, tranquilizers, steroids, and heroin can induce amenorrhea.

Answer 10

There are several things that could be going on. You did not provide enough medical history for anyone to give you a good answer. You need to go to a gynecologist and figure it out the correct way.
