Q: Am I Infertile?
asked by: miss nobody on August 2nd, 2004

Hello, this is an embarrassing problem which is why i'm choosing to ask you for help instead of talking to someone face to face.

I haven't had a period for a long time, at least 4 months, and the last times I did get them (which was few and far between) they were very unreliable, with bleeding on and off for about a week.

I am 16 years old, never had sex (i'm actually gay but haven't had sex with any males or females). I am pretty skinny but don't want to put on weight for obvious reasons - a lot of girls go crazy with dieting etc. But I just want to stay the way I am; roughly 100 pounds and almost 5ft2. I know my mum is starting to get concerned as she is noticing that I haven't used any pads for ages, but I really really don't want to talk to her or go to a doctor.

Don't get me wrong, if i'm lucky enough to have gotten rid of the red monster then I don't mind and it's not as if I was going to have children anyway, but I would like to know; if I have no period then am I infertile? Will it ever come back or is it lost forever?

Please, if anyone can give advice i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Well, miss nobody, you are a somebody! I'm a tad concerned with that...Your title of name, then speaking about concern of weight, being gay and not looking to your mom for motherly advice. That's a lot of stress in itself!

Everyones body is different. 16 isn't too young to see a gyno!!!! Perhaps your system is normal, or it's stress, or being active, or maybe something is wrong! It doesn't matter whether you are gay and do not want children...The body should be respected by all cost. I am lesbian to which does not plan to become pregnant as of yet and refuse to take pills to rid of my periods because this is unnatural. Besides...Perhaps later in life you will meet a same sex partner and seek to become mother! If in the event something is malfunctioned, by all means get it checked out. It will save you worry, better health..Yet alone a better peace of mind!

P.S. If your mother does not know about your sexuality...It really isn't important. Unconditional love....Express your concern that you need to see a gyno for peace of mind.

Don't allow what may be or may not be...A curse to yourself.

It's common for girls and women to skip months between periods, but by all means...Get to know what's up from tests if this is natural for you!

i have the same problem, i also skip months at a time between periods. ive heard, key word: hear, that it is normal for this to happen to young girls. the problem is that im 22 now and it still happens. i don't have medical insurance so that's the reason i haven't seeked profesional help, so if there is anyone that has some kind of professional insight i would highly appreciate it.
