I'm 15 years old and I started my period when I was 12. I now haven't had my period in 14 months. I already went to the Doctor and the Gynecologist in December and they said that I have low Estrogen levels (a healthy range is from 19-528, and I only have 14). The Gynecologist said that the only thing he could do to help would be to give me birth control pills, but he advised me to wait another year to see if it comes on its own. However, I don't think I can do that because the symptoms are driving me crazy. And now that this ONE doctor said to wait, my mom is being stubborn and won't get me help. Are there any ways to increase Estrogen naturally, or to persuade my mom into getting me some pills?

By the way, I'm not trying to get Birth Control because I want to have sex or anything like that. Thanks for your help :)

I would recommend letting your mom know that the symptoms are really bothering you and can't continue to wait as the one doctor suggested. I would also recommend talking to your dad about this issue to see if he can help. If not I would recommend trying a trusted adult friend if you have one to see if they can help you out.
I don't know when school starts for you but if it's some time next month I would recommend trying the school nurse.

Definitely go see your gyn doctor. Your thyroid levels need to be tested for the depression. The excess hair would be more a testosterone hormone level issue. Or an imbalance in the two hormones. The doctor could tell by blood testing. If you aren't on b.c. pills, don't be surprised if the doctor gets you on something for the hormone management. Small breasts can be just a genetic fluke and have nothing to do with your general health. Many women discover (pleasantly) that their breasts enlarge a cup or two during pregnancy and remain a cup size larger after nursing. There are drawbacks to having big boobs. Yeast infections have many causes. Your gyn could talk with you about them better than we could online. Don't just think about going to your doctor, DO IT~
