So basically I've never had a regular menstrual cycle. I had one period, then nothing for several months, then another one, then nothing... for a year. Then the doctor gave me 10 days of Provera, and it gave me some spotting and super bad cramps, and that was a year ago. I still haven't had a period. I'm just about 18 now. I started, I think, when I was 15. But I've only really had 2 - 3 periods before, so I don't really remember, and they were all really light and nothing. I've been to a gynecologist three times, had exams done, blood test, urine tests, etc. He hasn't told me anything!! He said I'm not ovulating, and that's about it. My GP asks me if I've had a period yet, and my answer is ALWAYS no! Ugghh.
I personally DON'T want periods, but I was just wondering why I wasn't getting them. I'm healthy, not over or under weight, exercise, etc.
Just wondering what it might be. They thought it was my hormones, but no. I don't have a UTI or anything else. They check all the time.

This sounds like a hormone imbalance going on. I would recommend asking your primary care physician to refer you to an endocrinologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders related to hormones) in addition to seeing another gynecologist, preferably someone that does not share the same office of the doctor that you currently see to see what they think could be going on.

Have them test you for cysts on your ovaries, or polycyctic ovarian syndrome. Also, for endometrial hyperplasia. These are usually found by ultrasound.
Keep seeking the answer. Your gynecological health is very important, especially at your age. If your doctor is unhelpful, you have rights to seek another opinion.

I don't know about any exact medical condition or anything, but I have a cousin who NEVER had a period, and she's around 28 now. She's unable to have kids though.

I think you need to visit a different gynecologist.
Do you exercise a lot? I mean a whole lot? That can stop periods as can weight loss.

I've never heard of anything like that, i think you're lucky though!
Although i guess it ruins your chance of having kids..
