Stopped getting periods. Help?

ObsessedMonster

Sorry if this is tmi, but I haven't had a proper period in over 2 months and I don't know why. I've lost only 3 pounds (went from 116 to 113 at 5'4) in the 2 month time frame, but I've been exercising a lot more intensively. I lift weights for an hour each time 3 times a week and do some light cardio on rest days. I don't' think this is enough to cause amenorrhoea. I'm 18 and a virgin, so pregnancy is out of the question. Would a 3 pound weight loss really do this? I remember having periods when I was underweight. I eat around 1500-1600 calories daily. I constantly stress about my weight and the possibility of gaining more. I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for the past year, but I haven't gone 2 months without a period in a long time. Any reasons as to why this may be happening? Thanks

I would say this is something you should ask your doctor, it could be any number of reasons.

Definitely time to talk to a doctor. Random people on this forum might give you answers, but to get the right answer that applies to you, go see the professionals.

As above, no one here is qualified to answer you. Seek medical advice asap.

Okay, usually when there is a sudden change of your diet this happens. It happened to me both times i was on a calorie count diet. However, i had only skipped a month and then everything was normal again. I think you should go to a doctor if your period doesn't come or if it becomes unstable
