If your not pregnant, I would go and see your doctor honey. I never got mine for 8 months!!! I left it and left it and was eventually diagnosed with polycystic ovaries syndrome - which results in absent periods.
I'm not saying this is your case but it's better to get checked out. I just thought I wasn't getting them any more. It could be a number of things but then again - it could be nothing
Dont panic until you know whats going on with your cycle. X0 -
Shoot. I had sex with a miltary recruiter (Marine) for years and no pregnancies. I must be lucky ...you know what the answer will be.
1. Go take a pregnancy test.
2. If you starve yourself your period by stop
3. Many many different things can affect your cycle, start with #1, if its negative, then go see your doctor.
Well, I haven't done anything to result in #1...So...it's not that.
If you had sex (not necessarily sexual intercourse) with a person who produces seaman in the last 3 months I would still get a home pregnancy test.
Many women get a light period or break through bleeding in the first month of being pregnant.
Are you on any kind of birth control. There are many types that will cause you to miss/have irregular periods.
If you know for certain you are not pregnant, I would wait another month and check with your doctor.
Woah! So I can only get pregnant if I have sex with a military recruiter?
a Marine will punch you if you call them a seaman.... that's probably why
Yup. Punch you straight in the baby maker...0 -
If you're not pregnant, it happens. I skipped a period (for the first time ever) a few months ago. It came back the next month.0

Go see a gynecologist. If you have never skipped or been late before, then this could be a problem. However, the odds are good that you are responding to stress. This could be emotional stress or it could be physical stress if you are not eating enough.0 -
Like everyone has stated if your body feels it is starving it will stop having a period for self preservation. Though I am not accusing you of an eating disorder, I had a roommate in college who was anorexic and she stopped having a period.
Also, I will try to offer a little peace of mind in that, sometimes when you are young, your period is just irregular. I didn't start having a regular "clock work" period until I was 23. That was 9 years of skipping or having a 33 day cycle. Also, before I went on birth control if I lived with other girls on birth control or had stronger hormones than me, it would mess up my cycle. Every freakin' time. My period followed my mom's cycle through high school. Then I went to college (still a virigin) and missed my period every once in a while and then when I got a roommate on birth control, I had a regular period that followed her cycle. Crazy, but it happens.
If you are really concerned, you need to go to the doctor.0 -
if its not that, id say its the VLCD. eat.0 -

TY, Firstsip! I was trying to think of a good one, but you always make me laugh! :flowerforyou:0 -
If you've ruled out the most obvious...pregnancy, then its quite possibly just an anovulatory cycle which is normal once or twice a year for women. Also have you lost quite a bit of weight? Losing (or gaining) weight affects the female hormone estrogen which controls our monthly cycles. It may take a while for your body to regulate itself again. See what happens next month. If you miss 2 in a row I'd give your doc a call just to rule out anything more serious and he can actually give you meds to jumpstart your period and hopefully get it back on track. Hope this helps...I've been there.
^ This. I'm in the same boat as you - I'm definitely eating enough, but I'm exercising a lot more and have gained/lost a fair few pounds in a short amount of time (shakes fist in the general direction of Christmas). My period has so far skipped a month, but it's happened to me before when my weight has been fluctuating significantly, and came back of its own accord within 2-3 months.
Probably isn't anything to worry about, just try not to stress about it (as that can delay things even more) and it will most likely come back by itself If it's still not appeared next month then visit your GP to rule out anything else. 0 -
If you think 4 days late is "gone", it sounds like you might have suspected something was going to cause amenorrhea.0

Good answer! Maybe that is because my daughter is your age...lol Seriously if your calories intake is super low for an extended period of time this will result in you body prioritizing the fuel your providing it, and procreation (which is the only reason we menstruate) is not your bodies concern if it is perceiving that you are having a hard enough time to keep yourself healthy.
Also stress can delay your TOM, so can Medicines, illness, and several other factors. You are only a few days late so don't panic yet. I would say if you go longer than a week you should talk to your Gynecologist.0 -
This happened to me about 5 years ago, amenorrhea it's called, I lost over 100lbs and wasn't eating very much at the time, I didn't have a period for about 6 months, anyway it happened to me again three years ago but that time for 9 months lol so you either need to eat more or you already have a bun in the oven hehe.0

If I were you, I would take a pregnancy test. if it comes back negative you might have cut your calories too much and need to up them.
I have the complete opposite problem since I started losing weight, I am having it like 2 times a month and they are full on heavy too. I started back in November and have had it 5 times so far.0
