I was on the depo shot for a hear, stopped taking it and have been off it for a year and no period yet. My doctor told me this can happen. It can also take up to a year after the shot to get pregnant. If you are trying to get pregnant don't get annoyed its just from the depo shot. If you don't want to get pregnant, DO NOT TRUST that you have a year free without a baby! You can get pregnant within that year, it is just not to panic if you do not! I would suggest seeing your doctor about this. Just remember, if you stress over it too much that too can prevent you from getting your period. Best of luck, and relax, your doctor will make sure you are ok.

Do you exercise a lot and/or strenuously?  have you been dieting?  If a woman doesn't have a reasonable percentage of body fat, her periods will stop.  You might also have your thyroid checked.  I had the opposite problem -- a period for 72 days, and it turned out I had Thyroid disease.\n\nNo matter what the reason, you should probably have a check-up.  Something's not right...\n\nGood luck!

i always have that for a few hours to 1 day before regular flow of my period but 6 days seems too much are you on birth control because i had that for 4 weeks once when i was on depo. it might be hormonal or it could be something serious so if it's not hormonal go to the clinic.

you should see a doctor to see why this is happening. i don't get it if you've never had your periods-which you should have had so far- or it's something happening just now-maybe a temporary disorder caused by stress or pregnancy.\njust don't take any pills without a medical consultation, because each body has its own needs and what is good for one person may harm another- remember that pills have side-effects too!

I started my pills a week or so after my last period. My doctor said because I wasn't pregnant, it was okay to start whenever I felt like it. It eventually regulated my hormones so I got back on track anyway.

Talk to your doctor. This is not uncommon in some girls. My sister only got her period every 3 months and then had to go on birth control to make it regular. Definately go to the doctor.

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...

there is nothing wrong here because thats what has happened to me a couple of times, it lasted for about 2 weeks perhaps a little less like 12 days, and it is a long time and i got a little worried about it. But it did stop, and when it did i was soooo relieved. My mum had no idea what was going on either, and I really didn't want to go to the doctors. And you know what else happened to me that got me worried all over again, well i missed my period for 3 whole months!! can you believe it, and i still avoided seeing a doctor, but after those three months had gone by, I got my period again and it was all back to normal, I just think that my body was going through a phase, which has never happened since, so i'm relieved about that. Just wait a little while longer and all should be back to normal very soon, but if not then I suggest seeing a doctor. =)

Yes, I had severe hormonal problems from being on the pill.  Everyone's tolerance is different, and my body just couldn't handle the imbalance hormonal birth control creates.  It took over 3 years for my body to regulate itself after I stopped taking birth control pills.

your period can be irregular for a while when you first start getting it i got mine when i was 11 but it wasn't completely regular until i was almost 15 even now,at 17, i'm going on birthcontrol to help regulate it more b/c i have a short cycle (come almost a week early every time) diet and exercise can have an effect on it too. Talk to you docter about it next time you go in but know that it is perfectly normal

Yes for some people it is, for others it's the other way around. If you have had sexual intersourse after stopping the pill, you may want to keep an eye on things since there is the possibility of being pergnant. You can still get your period if you are pregnant and it will usually be a light one. Hope this helped

Go back to the gyno.  Obviously something is wrong.  Have you taken a pregnancy test?  If your not pregnant, you need to get on birth control or progesterone to stimulate your period.  It isn't good to go so long without one.

I have the same disease and the worst part of it was that my period was late for 3 months! I used birth control pills for 6 months (on instruction of my doctor)and after quiting I got pregnant within a month so it doesn't cause infertility or worse things if you control it with your doctor's help.

sometimes its takes a while to get regular again, and some months will pass without a cycle, dont worry its normal after getting off the pill

It often takes a while for your periods to get back to normal after stopping birth control, particularly if her cycle was irregular before she started taking it. Other causes of missed periods include dieting, poor nutrition, extreme exercise and stress. She should visit her doctor in case there is an underlying cause, but I had a similar situation, with no other symptoms, and nothing was wrong. It is also possible that the pregnancy test result was wrong - sometimes, negative results are inaccurate.

Birth Control does the same thing to me. Its all the hormones in thel that can cause a woman to have irregular periods. Since you took 2 pills Monday, you doubled your intake of hormones, but didnt take any on Sunday. Your body probably just got 'confused' by the lack of hormones on Sunday, then double the hormones on Monday.\n\nSometimes it take up to a year of taking birth control for our periods to get back to 'normal.' And sometimes, after taking it for a year, we don't get our periods at all.

Ok First I agree with Kim you are still young so this is normal but you need to see a doctor. When I was 12 I got my period for the first time... it would come and go all the time untill I went to a doctor and found out I had polycystic ovary syndrome. If you have not had a period in over a year then I would definately ask your doctor about it... Also you could ask about the pill to make you regular..  but MAKE sure you see your doctor it is vital.
