It could be menopause.  Menopause is the medical term for the end of a woman's menstrual periods. It is a natural part of aging, and occurs when the ovaries stop making hormones called estrogens. This causes estrogen levels to drop, and leads to the end of monthly menstual periods. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or stop functioning for any other reason

Go get a pregnancy test and find out?\n\nHave you put any weight on?\n\nI had a friend who didn't have a period for 5 months because she didn't eat enough.

you can't really count on any normalcy for awhile.  There are many factors to a regular cycle.  Stress, weight gain/loss, increase in activity, extreme physical endurance, medication.  I went without a period for 14 months for no explained reason...it's puberty, girlfriend, you're in for the long haul...

I know this is easier said then done, but I wouldn't worry about it just yet.  Ive had mine for 3 years now and I'm 32 and your body does go through changes all the time.  Just take a deep breath and relax and if things don't change in a week or so, then call a doctor.  I'm a Paramedic and a woman, so just tryin to help 8-)

How old are you? This is pretty common in pre-menopausal women, this has been my own personal hell for the past few months, as well. If you are under 40, though, this could be a problem. There are a few things that could cause this in a young woman, none of them good (endometriosis is one, there are a few similar things as well). Call your GYN (or get one if you don't have one) and have it checked out. Even if it is not a serious problem, irregular periods can be regulated with drugs, saving you alot of grief.

You don't say how old you are, but menopause could be an answer if you're about that age.  Also, being underweight or overweight can cause your menses to stop, as well as problems with your thyroid, endometriosis etc.  You might want to seek the advice of a physician and have things checked out to rule out the possibilities mentioned above.

there may not be anything wrong with u. if u have been under a lot of stress lately, exercising, moved, anything could cause it. also if u started or stopped birth control recently it can cause your periods to be out of whack. if u do not have your next period when u should then i would suggest taking another pregnancy test or better yet, go see a doctor.

I would talk to a doctor, he may have something that he can give you to regulate you.\nYou should only be having a period approximately every 28 days.

i turned 34 two months ago, and i know where you're coming from.  i also had a tubal, which i thought was affecting everything from my mood, to my body fluids, and i even stated LOSING weight! (tried before, didnt happen).  maybe it's pre-menopause, at least that's what my ob/gyn tells me;  it could also be hormonal changes other than pms- my doctor told me to start exercising and take b12 supplements. hope you feel better and i hope this helps!

Sounds like hot flashes. Depending on your age, you could be hitting early menopause. If your to young for that, it might be pregnancy. If there is no way you could be pregnant you might have a hormone inbalance. Best advice...go to a doctor

There are certain organs of the body that it is NOT WISE to mess around and delay seeing a doctor... and your uterus is one of them.  You could be going thru the start of menopause but it could also be something else... Call your doctor and explain to his triage nurse what you wrote here and see what the advice is... I would gather it is to make an appointment and get  yourself checked to rule out any serious conditions.  Good Luck... Signed... and RN

You are not pregnant. You need a full exam (external/internal) with your GYNO to find out what is wrong.

Your hormones could be out of wack right now. I had the same problem. You will need to seek a professional so your condition can be properly diagnosed. They may give you a prescription for birth control pills just to regulate your period. Good luck and take care!

How old are you? Irregular periods can be caused by many things including bad eathing habits...anxiety, if you weigh very little you maybe missing your perioud often, when you mean last year... when? i think you should see a doctor asap. Health problems are not a joke. something could be wrong. Also when you say you have not had sex... are you saying that there was no penetration but you played around abit? the sperm is known to survive for upto 72 hours (www.teenwire.com or 6days according to that website). My take... see a gyno immediately... this is important. and there are clinics that you can go to that are not costly. ask your friend to go with you. goodluck

It isn't bad. It happens to most of us at least once. The only thing I would be concerned about is pregnancy, but if you haven't had sex, then it should be fine. If you still don't have one in a month or so, you may want to see a doctor just to rule out any problems there. The other thing to look at is if you have lost a lot of weight recently, or started a new workout routine. That can delay or stop your period until your body gets used to it.
