Okay, here's the story. I'm 18 years old
and have been having unprotected sex since
july. My last period was the third week
of july, which is strange, because I have
always been regular. I went to the doctor
and they have done many, many tests...I'm
not pregnant, my hormone levels are
normal, my pituitary and thyroid glands
are working properly, I don't have any
tumors (thank god!), and everything else
that can be tested with a blood test has
been and has come back normal. So why no
period??? I know i'm way too young for
menopause, so what's up? I'm supposed to
see a gynocologist in two weeks, at which
time I will have missed three periods.
Any advice on what could be happening?
I'm really starting to get worried.

Nope, I wasn't taking anything. I went
to the doctor last week and he gave me
more pills...He said he thinks i'm not
getting the hormone trigger that starts
the period...

Just a Suggestion Posted: 10-30-04 10:46am
I have heard acupunture and chinese herbs
are good. Don quai, completely natural
and inexpensive is pretty good too. You
might wanna research it a bit. Good
luck....

18 and no period? Well, heres a question
for you- are you athletic? Have you been
eating enough? How high is your body fat?
Have you made any major changes in your
diet? I am 20 years old and very athletic
( I swam in college on a "ship before my
shoulders blew out) and I never got my
periods when I was training hard, when my
diet changed, or when my body fat reached
the level of being too low- you might want
to check into these factors-

I am very unathletic...I haven't played a
sport since middle school, and haven't
really exercised since gym class in high
school. I'm slightly over weight, maybe
twenty pounds, but not much. I eat fine,
the same as I always have. I finished the
provera pills (again) last week, and had
some very icky discharge for about 36
hours, not even heavy enough to use a real
pad, just a pantiliner. However, the doc
said if anything came out then I should
start birth control, so i'll be starting
the pills on sunday. Hopefully my periods
will come back next month, because as much
as I hate to admit it, i'm starting to
miss them

Sometimes when you dabble with b/c, it
tends to mess with your body- give it time
to adjust and you should be fine
