Question

my period was supposed to come on the 9th but nothing happened and there are still no signs of it. I am not stressed at all really and i am NOT sexually active..... i dont know whats going on its never been this late. anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

If you are in your early days of having periods, it is normal to be irregular. Your body is getting used to having periods and any little thing like hormones, stress, exercise, etc., will cause a delay or a missed period. Try not to stress and let your body regulate itself. It will, with time.~

Answer 2

If you have not been sexually active - it could be other things - are you stressed?
have you been working out /exercising a lot?

If the month comes and goes and the period does not come - then go see your dr just to make sure nothing is wrong.

Answer 3

Some women miss periods. More miss them when they are younger. If it don't come next month I would see your doctor and see what they have to say. If they think it is off by to much they may suggest you go on birth control to regulate it. For some girls the birth control can be a blessing and for some it can be a pain in the butt. If you live at home talk to your mother about it too. She will understand she was your age once. Good luck :-)

One of the questions I'm asked most often is "Why is my period late?". Although, pregnancy is the most common cause of absence of menstruation (amenorrhea), many times, the women will also assure me that they are definitely not pregnant. So, what else can cause an absence of menstruation?
Are you breastfeeding your baby? Breastfeeding mothers will often experience amenorrhea; however ovulation may still occur and pregnancy is possible even without menstruation.
Are you experiencing an unusual amount of stress in your life? Emotional streEliminating the stress usually will cause menstruation to resume.
What kind of medications are you currently taking? Certain medications such as contraceptives (oral, implanted, and injected), oral corticosteriods, antidepressants, antipsychotics, thyroid, and some chemotherapy drugs may cause amenorrhea for some women.
You could have a hormonal imbalance. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is a common form of hormonal imbalance which may cause amenorrhea, as well as other symptoms that can include the other extreme with excessive bleeding (menorrhagia.
Do you eat a healthy, well-balanced diet? Women who are malnourished or extremely underweight often experience amenorrhea. This occurs often in women with eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia.
How much do you workout? Do you dance or engage in sports? Vigorous exercise or athletic training can cause amenorrhea.
Have you had your thyroid checked? Millions of Americans suffer from undiagnosed thyroid disease -- another possibility that should be explored by your physician.
Do you have a chronic illness? If you have a chronic illness, or have been sick for an extended period, your menstrual cycle may be temporarily delayed. Once your body is well your period will usually return.
Although rare, a pituitary tumor (a usually benign tumor) can cause an overproduction of prolactin which can interfere with the regulation of your menstrual cycle.
If you have missed 3 or more menstrual cycles, and you haven't already sought professional medical advice, it's time to seek medical care to determine the underlying cause. Only a qualified health care provider can determine the cause of amenorrhea. You should also be alert to other signs that signal a need for medical attention. These signs include:

Headaches
Hair loss
Vision changes
Breast secretions or milk production
Your doctor has several choices for diagnosing the cause of amenorrhea. He can do a progestin challenge with 7 to 10 days of medication to see if it triggers bleeding. This will tell him if menstruation stopped because of a lack of estrogen. Thyroid disease and pituitary disorders can be determined by blood testing. Pituitary tumors can be detected with diagnostic imaging equipment.

How absence of menstruation is treated depends on the cause. The treatment can be as simple as lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, stress reduction, or can include hormone replacement therapy, as well as other medications when appropriate.

There are alot of things that can affect your period besides stress. People who are very thin or who have lost alot of weight can quit having periods. If this is not the case I would have it checked by your doctor.
