You're still in your teens, and women's cycles don't become truly regular until the mid-twenties. Your body may have just randomly skipped a cycle. Rapid weight loss or malnutrition can also cause a missed period. As you said, stress can do it too. Also, some illnesses (ovarian cysts or uterine cancer, for example) can do the same. That's a very unlikely possibility though.\n\nIf you're sexually active, take a home pregnancy test once your period is a few days late. If it's negative or you're not sexually active, wait another month to see if our period returns. If it doesn't, head to the gynecologist for a check-up.

haha don't worry there. the first year or two your periods are going to be a little off. it's stil adjusting. don't worrry. some girls even skip a month sometimes. don't worry though. if you feel as though you need to see a doctor..see one. but i really do'nt think you should worry. it happens.

Unless for some reason it's normal for you to miss your period, It is never normal to miss your period. Don't freak out though unless it's been at least a week since when you should have started. Even then, it could be other things. If all else fails, get a pregnancy test or see a gynocologist.

Try a pregnancy test. Seriously. 4 months is a long time to go without a period. And yes, those could be pregnancy symptoms but could also be symptoms of something else. Go with the test first.

No, your period is determined by the natural fluctuations in your hormones.  Masturbation doesn't have anything to do with how your body regulates itself.  Things that can cause a person to miss a period might be pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, hormone deficiencies, extreme exercise, anorexia/bulimia, large weight fluctuations, or severe stress.  If you've missed a period and you're not sexually active, you should probably talk to your doctor, especially if you have been overly tired.  A doctor can do a simple blood test to check for pregnancy and hormone imbalances.

There are many factors that can make a period late including pregnancy, medication, stress, hormonal imbalance, just to name a few.\nIf you feel that you are pregnant the best thing to do would be to to wait until 2 weeks after a missed period, and have your doctor perform a pregnancy blood test as this is more accurate.  If it comes out negative, then your doctor can do further testing to determine the cause.

any medication, stress or pregnancy can cause you to be late or not have a period at all. So try to stop stressing about being late, then think about how long you've been taking those antibiotics and if wheather or not they have always made you late, if the answer is no and you've stop stressing, then Congratz you might be pregnant. Go seee a doc about a pregnancy test.

Well you skipped just one period. That happens to me sometimes, but I just got mine like two years ago. It usually happens when I am very active or something. So maybe your body just shifted its timing  or something. but if it worries you, just see a doctor.

okay hun dont be scared, It sounds to me like you was pretty safe so listen to this... I was the same way the first time i had sex I missed my period an i knew i was very safe an I kept goin to the clinic an taking preg' test.. The dr told me that the number 1 reason for miss'n a period is stress... He told to try to relax an not worry about and i finally got my period 3 days later...  An over the years i have learn that it is very true stress does cause you to miss your periods.. So just try to relax for a few days an im sure it will come.. If your having cramps you'll prob' get it very soon   ;) Best of luck!!!

First you miss your period.\nThen you take a pregnancy test.\n\nIf it's positive, see a doctor.\n\nIf it's negative and you're period still doesnt come, take another test and see a doctor.

Your age plays a big factor.  Could be stress, diet, over exercising, weight, or even a medical condition such as fibroid tumors (which is what I had). Don't worry too much about it unless you skip two months...... \nBy the way...how you do definitely know that you are not pregnant?

There can be a lot of reasons for this.  One of the big ones is being extreme exercise.  Other reasons are usually hormone related and there are many differnt causes.  Definately check with an OB-Gyn about it.\n\nI only had 2-3 periods a year from the time I was 14 until I had a hysterectomy when I was 45.  When I was 29 and got pregnant the first time, I had a miscarriage.  I then had 5 more miscarriages over the next few years.  I saw a fertility specialist, and found out I had what was called a luteal phase defect and my uterus did not build up enough early in pregnancy to support a baby.  There are medications to treat many hormone problems, so the best place to start is your ob-gyn.

When you are in your teenage years, your period is going to be irregular, especially if you haven't had it for that long.  But if you go several months without having there could possibly be aproblem and you should see a doctor.

definitly. i am 28 and had a period at 17 and maybe 3 more since then. i have 2 children. of course most women find out there pregnant when they miss a period, i knew at 3 months only because i was sick as a dog.

If you had your periods, that mean you are not pregnant.  Might have just missed the date.
