it is going on 6 months and I still haven't had my period. I've gone to the doctors and they haven't figured out what's wrong with me. The fact that I don't know whats going on scares me. I know I'm not pregnant because I've never had sex. I eat healthy, I'm in nutrition and foods, so I know all bout healthy eating, and I'm not anorexic or bulimic. I just don't know whats going on and I'm hoping some of you may know whats going on. Any thing you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Amenorrhea is a menstrual condition characterized by absent menstrual periods for more than three monthly menstrual cycles, and may be classified as primary or secondary.
Primary amenorrhea occurs when menstruation fails to start puberty; secondary amenorrhea is due to some physical cause and usually occurs after normal periods have begun but become increasingly irregular or absent.
It is one of many conditions sometimes caused by hormone irregularities, which can be labeled by the more general term, Dysfunction Uterine Bleeding - DUB.
Diagnosis & Tests -
Diagnosis begins with a gynecologist evaluating a patient's medical history and a complete physical examination including a pelvic examination. A diagnosis of amenorrhea can only be certain when the physician rules out other menstrual disorders, medical conditions, or medications that may be causing or aggravating the condition. In addition, a diagnosis of amenorrhea requires that a woman has missed at least three consecutive menstrual cycles, without being pregnant. Young women who have not had their first menstrual period by the age of 16 should be evaluated promptly: making an early diagnosis and starting treatment as soon as possible is very important.

Go back to your doctor and request a scan, as it could be a cyst, like someone said above. You could also ask about birth control, as this can help regulate your period. You didn't say how old you are.. but I hope everything's okay. Good luck xx

I would talk to your family & see if, anyone other females have had your problem. Have you lost a lot of weight recently? I would get a referral for an autoimmune specialist.

If your doctor hasn't figured it out then I doubt anybody here will. Good luck with it whatever it is though.
