I know that I am NOT PREGNANT and my thyroid is functioning properly according to blood tests.I have been having all the symptoms that I am going to be having my period each month but haven't had one in 4 months. I got black cohosh from local herbal store and was told that it will help. Has this worked for anyone else.I am 29 have my tubes tied and have never gone this long without a period, except when I was pregnant.

No, I've never heard of anything OTC that will regulate your periods, just help PMS symptoms.
Black Cohosh is useful for menopause symptoms.
Are you underweight, anorexic or super athletic? These can all effect your period.
Otherwise, see an OB/GUN.
UPDATE!
I went home and checked my Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible and it does say BC is used to induce menstruation, but it doesn't mention a recommended dosage.
It does say NOT to use if you are pregnant or in large doses as it can be poisonous.
Do not exceed the dosage listed on the bottle.

no, honey there's nothing wrong with you. i've actually gone a few years without my period. it's called a anti-clotrant reaction, which means you may have some sort of infection.
