Ladies only please

I don't think you're going to find much advice other than to see a doctor. :flowerforyou:

Can you open up your diary?

The only thing people here can critique is whether your diet may be influencing this issue. We can't do that if we can't see your diary.

Anything else is going to have to come from a doctor.

I lost my period when I was 16 because I lost weight very rapidly. I went from 145 lbs to 108 lbs in one summer and around 108-110 lbs I lost my period. I wasn't technically underweight yet, but I think its because of how quickly I dropped weight. I continued to lose weight. I didn't get it back until over a year later when I got back up to 105 lbs.

Have you dropped a lot of weight recently, or has your weight loss been gradual? You shouldn't lose your period if you lose weight gradually and as long as its a healthy weight loss.

If a woman is underweight, she could lose her period. But not all underweight women lose their periods. Back in winter 2010 I was 93 lbs and still had my period but it was not the regular 28/29 days. It was more like a 35 day cycle.

If you do not get your period soon, I agree with the others to see your doctor.

It can also happen when people severely restrict calories, even if they're not underweight, because undereating disrupts many different hormone functions.

Excessive cardio exercise combined with major lifestyle stress me to stop....back in the day....are you excessive in your workouts?

I've been at the same weight for years. When i first lost weight 6 years ago I stopped having my period for 4 months. I knew why I wasn't having it then, but to not have it now is confusing since I eat at least 1500 calories a day. I'm not restricting calories.

You could be eating 1500 per day but if you've increased your caloric expenditure (exercise) and are netting low... it could be enough cause for it to stop again.

I had this exact same problem, turned out to be polycystic ovaries; all they do is put you on the pill and it comes back!

See a doctor, people on here won't be able to know.

Um, I have had my period come a few days late...but never totally missed it. I attributed this to hardcore working out when I was first starting out and of course a calorie deficit that I am sure my body was not used to.

Go see your Dr...3 months is not normal unless if your ana and not telling us.

Here is what I found via the Mayo clinic regarding Amenorrhea (period loss)
http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/amenorrhea/basics/causes/CON-20031561

Of course the internet can't diagnose or treat anything, but knowledge is power.
Maybe print this and bring it with you to your Dr. to make sure you're covering your bases.

Anything regarding feminine health can be scary, but deep breath. See a Dr. and get sorted out. :flowerforyou:

I don't starve myself. I eat healthy, lots of fiber and protein. my diet usually consists of plain oatmeal, lean chicken, 3-6 servings of veggies and 1 or 2 of fruit. And occasionally a little treat.

My mom always worries. She herself doesn't watch her diet and to her if you don't eat a lot there is something wrong with you. lol

How about healthy fats? Those are so important. To be honest, your estimated BMR is about 1400 calories. So if you stayed in bed 24 hours a day, your body would need that much to keep itself running. Without working out, getting out of bed and living life is going to take your TDEE over 1500 calories. I honestly think it's possible you have been chronically undereating even if not intentionally starving yourself. Trust me-I'm not someone who jumps on the "eat more" answer. But you are a young woman, and your daily needs should be higher.

How do you count your calories? Oatmeal is about 150 for a normal serving, plain veggies would take you to a max of 300 calories (for three servings) (and that would be if you were eating potatoes for all the servings), and another 200 for fruit. Being generous, that's 650 calories. I left off the chicken since I don't eat it, but it's probably not 850 calories.

I apologize if this is insulting- I know you said you're not pregnant in the original post, but are you 100% positive you're not pregnant? Even if you're on BC, and use condoms, there's always that slight chance....even if you've had a negative home test. If you've been sexually active in the last 3 months, you might need to have a blood test to confirm you're not pregnant.

I'm 100% positive. I'm a virgin :embarassed: ( how many times do you hear that a 22 year old girl is a virgin?)

thanks for the concern though

Well that settles it! Good for you, girl. :flowerforyou:

(my GF was 32 when she married....and she was a virgin, too. Awesome to both of you! BTW, my gf's son was a virgin too when he married at age 28....so was his bride. YOU can get what the rest of the world has any time....however, not many in the world can have what YOU have! ) :flowerforyou:

Try weighing out your food and logging it for week and see how you do. Do it every day accurately as possible. Pay attention to weight/gm/ounces and perhaps this will save you a trip to the doctors.

well first i think u should go see your doctor, because they will be able to diagnose something if it is serious. but i will say that stress can be a factor. if you are very athletic sometimes it can affect the cycle too, with decreases in body fat.
