Q: Waaay Late Period, not sexually active, very stressed ...

I'm 19 years old and am not sexually active. It has been quite a few months since I've had my period. I would say 4 to 6 months. About a year ago I graduated from high school and have entered college. I don't excercise as much as I used to, which means I have gained weight. I've been stressed on and off for the past year.
I don't know if I should go see the doctor. I hate going to the doctor but recently I've started a project with a friend to try and lose weight. Should I wait to see if my period comes back or should I go to the doctor immediately?

A lack of a period can be caused by a lot of factors. Though I'm sure it's pleasant on one hand to not have one (lol) it is really something that should be looked at by an ob-gyn.

loss of period can be from stress and you said you are stressed try some sort of relaxation to handle the stress and see if that helps and the exercise help as well good luck.

you must consult a doctor as soon as possible, it may be just stress as discussed but there are serious medical conditions that can cause this which are easly treated if caught early enough, so see your doctor ASAP
