Ive been a vegetarian for 9 months and I havent had my period in 3 months. Im a virgin. What's wrong with me??

Question

I'm not underweight, if anything, I could stand to loose a few pounds.

Also, I just started some new medication for anger and I've been on anti-depressents for 2 years now.

I'm 18. And It's my decision whether or not I want to have sex. I've had many opportunities but I don't want to.

Answer 1

First of all, congratulations. I commend you on your discipline.

Your period sometimes may stop from malnutrition.
Because you're a vegetarian it may be harder for you to get some really important nutrients. You should be taking a multivitamin. Also make sure you're getting enough protein and iron. You can take a supplament for that or eat foods high in protein and iron like spinich, beans, or peanut butter. You should consider seeing a nutritionist. They can give you advice about what you could eat to stay healthy.

Answer 2

being underweight can certainly stop your menstrual cycle, and messing up your metabolism with a strict vegan diet can do it too. We are designed physiologically to thrive on an omnivorous diet, we have only one stomach, unlike most plant eating animals that have three or even four stomachs to be able to pull all the possible nutrients out of plant matireal.
reconsider your choice to go vegan. it isn't all it's proposed to be.

Answer 3

Are you underweight or do you exercise a lot? Being too thin can cause your period to stop.

Answer 4

maybe your cycle didn't get regular yet. how old are you? maybe your stressed and that may cause your period to not come that month. if you're really concerned, you might want to go to the doctor.
