Just tell her that you may have been too embarassed to tell her the first time, but that you are really concerned that you may be pregnant. I am sure she will help you in any way she can. You definitely need to let her know though. You may be not having your period due to your weight.

Contact your doctor as soon as possible and TELL HER THE TRUTH.
Your doctor cannot truly and completely treat you if you withhold information or lie about stuff to her. (She is not a priest or your parent so she shouldn't (and probably won't) lecture or judge you about lying.)
Go back, 'fess up and tell her as much as you can so that she can make a correct diagnosis and arrange the appropriate tests, if necessary.
If you've had an eating disorder, it could affect your periods. (Anorexics eventually stop having periods altogether, for example. Some ballet dancers and models who maintain dangerously low body weights also lose their periods.)
Gooey white stuff could simply be an excess of normal discharge. However, it could also be the beginning of a vaginal infection (such as a yeast infection; does it itch?) which would respond quickly to treatment but is a major drag when untreated.
Something as simple as coming down with a cold or stress can throw off your menstrual cycle. Sometimes women skip periods (you don't necessarily ovulate every month).
Eating well for a week is a great start but it hasn't been long enough to turn around a starvation "diet".
Keep up your good eating habits. But PLEASE please please talk to your doctor about your food/weight issues. People DIE from eating disorders.
Life is worth so much more! Celebrate it!
Good luck!

U don't even have to tell her that u lied, she will know if u r pregnant and if she's ever done a pap on u odds r she knows neway. Just take a home pregnancy test and if it comes up positive call and make an appointment for a test if it comes up negative, rest assured and tell the truth next time she asks.

You just have to be honest. Believe me we've all lied to doctors and I'm sure she will understand. But if you are pregnant then you need to get help and soon. If you're pregnant then you have to get your eating disorder under control or it will be fatal for both you and your child. Good luck.

You need to be completely honest with your doc. They cannot judge you, nor tell anyone else. It may not be that you are pregnant at all. Eating disorders wreck havoc on your body, and many women go without a period. My sister had an eating disorder for years, and it so messed with her cycle. She is now having to undergo medically induced menopause at 25. Please get tested for pregnancy, std's, and seek help for your existing condition. And be completely honest with your doc.

Honey! Your health is the #1 reason you should tell your MD you might be pregnant. Your MD's profession is not to juge you. OKay! I work in the medical filed & trust me that an MD has better thing's to worry about then judging its patients. Your health is Her/His #1 importance.It's all about what's best for your baby & you.The only way you can get the best care is by being open with her.

My wife is an Ob/Gyn who is always amazed that people who are in need of care will invariably lie to their doctor. She says she wishes people would just be honest with her. If it is an issue of your parents not knowing then tell your physician that you do not want her to disclose this to your parents. (She has to abide by disclosure law covered under HIPPA) Tell your doctor to not note your response in your file so there would be no written record. If you ask this, be ready to be asked each time you go in if you are sexually active. And be honest.

I could have sworn you asked this a few days ago... just worded differently, but anyways...
You just need to be upfront.. she's a doctor, she's heard it all. If it helps, write a list of all your symptoms and give them to her. You need to tell her whats up, and that your period is late, and that you think you might be pregnant.
If you don't feel comfortable talking with her, go to your local planned parenthood, where they don't know you.

You have discharge, that's all,
If you want to know if you are pregnant, go and buy a pregnancy test.
You have probably just delayed you period by worrying about it being late.

sometimes drastic weight loss can result in issues with your period. you should not be embarassed about lying to your doctor. just tell her the truth and your assumption. its her job to help you not judge you. the only person your hurting by lying is yourself because you can be misdiagnosed or go untreated for something that could be hazardous to your health.
