So, I haven't had my period this month (I usually start 15-18th) and it's just gone, I guess. I'm really kinda concerned, anybody have a clue to what's going on? I know it's TMI, sorry. Also I wasn't sure where to put this, so I just posted it here.

    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.

    If you are way low on calories that could happen!

    You could be eating too little, your body fat % could be too low, you could be pregnant, there could be something else medical going on, or your body decided it's time to make you panic and when it comes back out of nowhere, you'll breathe again!

    Take a pregnancy test.

    If you are not pregnant, you may just be late.

    If you are not late and on a very low calorie diet, eat more food.

    If you've really cranked up your workout schedule and changed your diet, that right there can do it. When I was 18 and started basic training I went 11 months without a period(other than a day here and a day there) and then they resumed to normal.

    Well, I haven't done anything to result in #1...So...it's not that.

    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.

    I just saw in another post where you lost your weight by eating dangerously low amounts of food. That will stop a period as well as over exercising.

    It's normal to be late once in a while. I wouldn't worry unless it becomes a pattern.

    I miss my period all the time. And it's late all the time too. Wait to see if you get it next month, if not, go to your doctor.

    Nobody here can tell you why so please call your doctor.

    It can happen. Many women are known to not have a period for 3 months or more. It can result in stress/not enough food/ not enough nutrition/not enough iron in the body. Keep track of it and go to the doctor if it continues to bother you.

    Anything your body interprets as counterproductive to a healthy pregnancy can cause you to skip a month. This could be a very low percentage of body fat, consuming far too few calories for an extended duration or very high levels of stress.

    Being 5'1 and only 103 lbs puts you right on the border of being a normal healthy weight, and being underweight.
    My guess is your calorie intake is too low, you are overexercising, or a combination of these two things.
    Increase your calorie intake by eating healthy fruits and vegetables, and cut back on the exercising to about 3 days a week and see if by next month, your period comes back. I would advise you to speak with your doctor as well to rule out any other health concerns that could cause this issue.

    A low body fat % will cause that too =)

    Read about amenorrhea (sp) it can happen as a result of exercising to much and eating too little and can be bad for you. Talk to your doc as suggested by others!

    Not enough calories or not enough fat intake can both mess up your cycle big time. Over exercising can disrupt it too.

    My period has stopped twice in my life (besides my 2 pregnancies). Once during basic training for the Army (8 weeks) and nothing. My female Drill Instructor said it was normal with all of the suddenly new high intensity training. It started back up after basic. Then back in 2003 when my body fat got down to 17% my period stopped for 6 months. We were done having kids so I wasn't overly concerned. I know now it is better to have a regular cycle if possible. My dr. said there was a shot he could give me to give me a period for a month.

    Have you been exercising way more than normal? This would happen to me in high school when I would go away to summer camp and my activity level would go way up from where it usually was. I wouldn't get my period for the whole summer. Then when I went back to normal activity level, it would come back...

    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.

    It could be related to working out. When I went through Basic in 2008 my period was MIA until about the 9th week. It's doing the same thing again now that I've started working out more again.

    If you're concerned call your medical provider and ask them if you need to come in for a check-up.

    One of your previous posts says you've been eating 700-1100 calories/day. That could have something to do with it.

    oh...you aren't eating the minimum recommended daily calorie allowance?

    well there's your answer.

    eat more.
