i've gotten answers so far about going to my doctor. i dont know if i should unless i know something could be wrong. if i just ignore it, could it just come back? i dont want to like jeopardize having children when im older or something. =/

I had the same experience. I had a normal cycle on my first 2 years but later on it changed, it became irregular. Sometimes I dont have my period for 3 months or skip for 2 months and i get so scared if i am pregnant or not even if I haven't tried sex yet before. Not all girls have normal cycles, there are also a lot of girls having irregular cycles, I even have a friend who only has 1 period each year. Also, another thing that could also be the cause why you didnt have your period is stress, lack of sleep and exercise, and eating too much sour food. If you did these things, it can also be a cause but dont worry your period will come back.
I hope you feel better now.

You should definetly NOT feel stupid! I had the same question alot of times. For no reason I have only ever had 9 periods, EVER. And now I'm over 30! I always had horrible cramping, PMS, the whole ritual except the actual period. It took me 8 yrs. to have my son!!! And 3 of the periods I had was when I was pregnant! Anyway everybody's body is different! You know when to notice something isn't right...talk to your Mom or sis or Dr. because they'll be able to help you first hand. Good luck and you will be just fine!

Don't panic!..we all have questions, and you're still young so you cant be expected to know everything! Anyway, Ive had friends who have gone a couple months without their period before and they're fine. But I do commend you on being abstinent thus far! Its a good thing! If you want to get the best advice though, see a gynocologist. It's a little unerving at first, but theyre the best people to talk to, and don't worry, its their job to answer questions like this. Its possible they could suggest birth control to regulate your periods. Anyway, I hope this helps you!

If you're a virgin and you haven't had your period since February you should make an appt. with a Gynecologist, OB/GYN, or family practitioner. If you have a regular Dr. that you see I would ask your mom to make an appt. for you. There's many things that can cause amenorrhea (absence of menstrual period). Such as being thin and exercising heavily (from playing sports, etc.), having an eating disorder, or having a hormonal imbalance. There can be many, many causes. Just be sure to seek advise from a Dr. to get your body back on track. :-)
Good luck to you!

Sweetheart there is never any real dumb dumb questions if you really don't know the answer!
You need to tell your mom and ask her to make you a doctor's appointment.

there are a number of medical reasons why you haven't had your period. please speak with your mom so that she can help you get into a doctor. please don't wait. it could be something minor, it could be life-threatening.
