You can ovulate without having a period. That's why the doctors tell nursing mothers to use birth control, even if they don't have a period they can get pregnant again. Being underweight causes you to skip periods because your body is trying to sustain it's vital organs and knows it cannot support another life. Once your weight gets into a healthy range your periods should start again.

Yes being underweight can cause you to skip a period. Also, if you are not having your period, you are also not ovulating.

i havent laid an egg yet? The egg is smaller than the accurate of a pin i know you ought to have them fertilized by ability of a male to hatch a infant yet does that ensue contained in the body or does the male ejaculate on the egg? He ought to ejaculate in the vagina, earlier the egg is released what if she stares at me like I actually have complications? because you do. my mom informed me she flushes her eggs down the bathroom yet isnt that evil? maximum women human beings do, or throw them in the bin with some thing else of their era flushing 1/2 a infant down the bathroom? Its no longer 1/2 a infant. are you meant to? nicely, there is not any aspect in conserving it, once the body has already rejected it. Its no longer some other thing beneficial than organic and organic waste as you may tell i dont know a lot about this D: certainly Ovulation is at the same time as the egg is released into the fallopian tube, even if that's not fertilized, it will be expelled alongside with the uterine lining, in what's oftentimes undemanding as a "era" (at the same time as a woman bleeds for 3-10 days)

"The body appears to have a built in mechanism that tells it to stop having periods when the percentage of body fat drops below a certain point. In girls who don't have periods for a prolonged amount of time, the lack of estrogen prevents proper bone mineralization, and makes the bones weaker. These girls can have significant problems with osteoporosis as they get older.
For a girl who is underweight, getting back to the proper weight will often induce the periods to start again."

Your body requires a certain amount of fat (and a certain calorie intake) for you to menstruate. If your eating habits are very bad, or you are very underweight, you will not ovulate, and therefore will not menstruate. This is kind of nature's way of avoiding dangerous pregnancies.

If you have never had sex and have no possible way of being pregnant I would go to the doctors, otherwise you are most likely pregnant and you should go see a doctor. :/
Go see a doctor no matter what
