Amenorrhea

I am 5'3.5, 116ishlbs. I started at 107lbs, but I am not sure if my gain is fat or muscle or both.
For about 3 months I have been exercising and over the past month I have incorporated weights into my squats (~33lbs, 3 sets of 25, sometimes more, sometimes less), along with some body weight exercises and a couple miles of walking per week. I was extremely inactive prior to this (desk job).
I stopped tracking calories regularly but I'd guess that I am at about an average of 1,800 calories per day.
SO, here is my problem: I haven't had my period in over a month, possibly two (I went through a laborious move and stopped paying attention: I dropped to 104lbs during the move and kept exercising on top of the exertion from moving basically alone).
I have not had sex. Would this situation qualify as typical of Amenorrhea? I read online that its intense training but that seems open to interpretation. If any of you have experience let me know what you think! Thank you.

It might if it continues for three months or more if you where very regular before. A loss of cycle or shift over a period of 1-2 months is not what is clinically called "amenorrhea". Give yourself time and deal with the stress of the move.2
