Menstruation is a woman's normal monthly menstrual period. But what are the signs of abnormal periods? When is vaginal bleeding serious?...

Q: No Period

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

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 Wink

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