Amenorrhoea (BE) or amenorrhea (AmE) is the absence of a menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age. Physiologic states of amenorrhoea are seen during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), the latter also forming the basis of a form of contraception known as the Lactational Amenorrhea Method. Outside of the reproductive years there is absence of menses during childhood and after menopause.
Female athletes or women who perform considerable amounts of exercise on a regular basis are at risk of developing 'athletic' amenorrhea. It is suspected that low body fat levels and exercise related chemicals (such as beta endorphins and catecholamines) disrupt the interplay of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
A second serious risk factor of amenorrhea is severe bone loss sometimes resulting in osteoporosis and osteopenia. It is the third component of an increasingly common disease known as female athlete triad syndrome. The other two components of this syndrome are osteoporosis and disordered eating. Awareness and intervention can usually prevent this occurrence in most female athletes.
Etymology and definition
The term is derived from Greek: a = negative, men = month, rhoia = flow. Derived adjectives are amenorrhoeal and amenorrheic. The opposite is the normal menstrual period.
There are two types of amenorrhoea, primary and secondary amenorrhoea. Primary amenorrhoea is the absence of menstruation in a woman by the age of 16. Also, as pubertal changes precede the first period, menarche, women who have no sign of thelarche or pubarche and thus are without evidence of initiation of puberty by the age of 14 have primary amenorrhoea. (Reference: Speroff L et al, Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility, 1999)
Secondary amenorrhoea is where an established menstruation has ceased - for three months in a woman with a history of regular cyclic bleeding, or six months in a woman with a history of irregular periods.

It depends on your age. If you are on birth control, you can just continue to the next pack without taking the placebo pills (sugar pills) at the end of the last pack. That should eliminate periods for most women. If you're pre-menopausal, your periods would be sporadic.

Actually....yes. My mother has has this problem before. If you are stressed or worried alot that month you can miss a period and still not be pregnant. Even if you are on birth control pills and stressed then you can still miss one. Also, missing a period can mean that there is something wrong. You might want to see your gyno dr. if yu miss more than one.
Hope I was a help. Let me know if you need more info.
Good Luck

for the most part, yes. Women used to have less periods then we do now, since they were pregnant and breastfeeding from when they married to when they hit menopause or died, whichever came first. You can use birth control to suppress periods, and hormone shots to to stop them entirely. But we don't know fully the effects of hormonal secession of periods.

yes there is a dieseas or something like that(not sure if its a disease) where women never get there periods and they never will. ive actually heard of women still getting pregnant when they are like this. but its very unhealthy to stop your periods with the shot or other stuff.

Uh, get birth control. I'm on the pill now and it is medically safe to skip the pills which make you have your period. I've been on the pill for a little over a year and have only had 3 periods. Boy do i love it!!!
