    Yes, I actualy have to wax some parts of my face, if I dont do it I look horrible... And I struggle with weightloss all the time...

    And if you are on hormone pills already, it's possible they aren't working as intended so it might be time to reevaluate what you are taking.

    Also, exercise can throw off your cycle.

    Some of the other ladies had mentioned PCOS, and that is a definite possibility. This is a thread about PCOS. If you'd like to read through it and see if you have other symptoms, this is a little guide with some questions and answers about it to help a little:

    Enjoy no period! 40+ years is such a long time to have to deal with periods (18 - 58). I'd be thrilled. Talk to your dr...if they don't find anything wrong, relax. I am out of eggs, so almost no period for me. I'd love no period at all!

    This is bad advice for women who are pre-menopause age. Not menstruating as a young women can cause you to lose fertility and bone density and put you at risk for osteoporosis later in life. Adding to that, it can be a sign of an underlying health problem. I totally agree periods suck, though. I just want to make sure OP (and anyone else who may have the same problem) know that lack of menstruation is not something to ignore.

    I stopped getting my period for about four years before I saw a doctor about it (which was not very smart of me, but like vtroys said, I loved not getting a period). The problem ended up being something called prolactinoma, which is a hormone secreting benign tumor on the pituitary gland. It's not uncommon and is super treatable, so maybe mention this to your doctor as a possibility. Good luck!
