Does anyone suffer from this? I haven't had my period in 5 months as of yesterday. I am not pregnant, I have no sex drive, I have trouble sleeping. Sometimes I'll have "phantom' symptoms: cramping, water weight but no actual blood. I know I need to see a doctor,I'm honestly worried.

    Low body weight or excessively losing weight or losing weight quickly can cause you to miss your period. Obesity can also cause changes in your menstrual cycle. - See more at: http://www.healthcentral.com/sexual-health/c/1443/153032/pregnant/#sthash.XkpZeuPd.dpuf

    Hmm I'm at a normal weight. 125 pounds. BMI of 22%. I am not trying to lose weight. I have been eating the same way for years.

    Why waste time self diagnosing on webmd or asking people about conditions on MFP rather than make an appointment with your doctor? Internet peoples with no medical background or knowledge of you beyond a keyboard, can't be of much effort to you if you're concerned you may have a medical condition.

    Yes I have this. I have to be on an estrogen patch to prevent osteoporosis (I already have osteopenia). You won't know until you get your blood work done (FSH, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone). Good luck!
