im a virgin and i havent done anything lately to make me pregant.
but i havent had my period in over 2 months. and im scared shytless.
my period is usually right on schedule..and before i used to get wicked heavy over the months it slowly started becoming lighter and lighter and now i dont even get it.

i missed a few periods when i was seventeen. my mother was ill, and i was under a lot of pressure to keep the house going, and school, and college applications, and everything else in the world.

stress'll do it. or heavy amounts of excercize. rapid weight loss or gain...
talk to your doctor. it's probably nothing.

i just saw your journal on someone's friend's page. as far as the delay thing goes, yeah i agree with the person above. stress can definitely do it, which sucks because once you get a little paranoid about it, then you stress out more and might delay it even longer. any kind of drastic change might cause it also (when i moved to italy i skipped a month) or just some kind of hormonal change. i wouldn't worry too much if was you, especially if you know you can't be pregnant. just try to stay calm and discuss it with your doctor. i hope you figure it out.

like the others said it's probably just stress related, or due to weight fluctuations if there are any.
You should probably see a doctor about it though, my periods got lighter aroud the time I had a couple of ovarian cysts (which went away on there own in the end) but it's probably not that unless you've noticed pain or tenderness on one or both sides (the pain you get with cysts is kind of a heavy aching feeling, usually on one side).

Stress can really mess up a person's cycle. I didn't have a period for over nine months when I was 15-16. I thought it might be a case of immaculate conception (yes, I was a virgin at the time, and for quite a long time thereafter)! Fortunately, I was wrong, and after I changed my environment, it returned. So, that's one thing to consider.

have you been losing a lot of weight?

If the percentage of fat in your body gets too low you will stop getting your period. It happens to anorexic girls, but also to girls who are very athletic and have a ridiculous amount of body fat for that reason.

your body will outright refuse to have a child if your body fat percentage gets so low that it thinks there's a famine.
