Missing periods?...

[quoth-the-ravan.livejournal.com]

Hii... I'm new, but really kinda confused.

(I'm fifteen, btw)

My periods have always been really, really regular, 'cept for the first two months after I initially got it. My last period was October 16th, and I forgot to mark when it ended. Well, it didn't come in November, though I did go through what I figured as a PMS'y stage a few days before I expected it to begin. But, 'course, it didn't. Occasionally, I do miss a period, but I didn't get it again in December, and it's January now. Thing is, I didn't have that much stress, my Aunt's wedding was coming up, but I wasn't worried about it at all, and I wasn't really even underweight. Should I be getting concerned, here? 'Cause I'd like to know if I should go get my mom to schedule an appointment for me.

Thanks!

I'd say that in the teen years, even if you've been mensruating for a few years, unless you're worried about pregnancy or you're significantly underweight, missing periods doesn't indicate anything off about your health. However, if it bugs you that you've gone this long without a period just for its own sake, you can ask your doctor about it, but no need to sweat it.

BTW, I am your age.

If it bugs you, go to the doctor. And it's normal to go w/o getting your period for awhile. Mine is regular sometimes; other times it isn't. For the most part, mine is somewhat irregular. If you changed your eating habits or was on a diet, you may have loss some weight/body fat. That could be a factor, as well as if you were sick recently.

Thanks!

I was sick recently, so that might 'xplain it.
