    I was going to say pretty much what everyone else is. I'll just add that my SIL didn't have her period for a very long time (can't remember how long now) but she had to go to a fertility specialist & it was a work in progress -several appts, several tests, trial & error of what can correct the problem. Listen to what is being repeated-see a dr. Mine is different but I had pain in my foot that kept on increasing to the point that I couldn't have anything touch it, had to hold it over the side of the & could't wear a sock or even have a sheet on it. For over 2 yrs I saw 10 doctors & testing including a biopsy. No one could figure it out & the drs didn't even want me to come back & try to figure it out. Until I got 1dr who didn't know what was wrong & sent me to another dr who had a group of drs try to figure it out & although the biopsy said it wasn't cancer they sent my records to a bone cancer dr & knew that I had cancer. I had to have a BKA even though the cancer was a kids cancer (I was around 38 when the pain started) & less than 1% get cancer where mine was. The 1st biopsy was wrong. A lot of people thought it was cancer, including a friend's daughter that was a nurse when she heard one thing described that the dr who found that out from the blood test said she would say it was Gout but I had it too long, but again she didn't know, didn't tell me to come back for another blood test or to see her. I'm sorry this is so long & I AN NOT telling you I think you have cancer, that was just what was wrong with me. I just want you to see that you should keep going to doctors until one of them can find out what is wrong & fix the problem. Not all advise is good but if enough people say the same thing it probably won't hurt to have the dr check that out. So please, please see a dr and keep at it until you feel they have the right answers. You can start with a can start with a GYN but don't stop until you get the right answer. Yes very athletic women can have delayed periods but it all needs to be followed with a dr as some have stated your bones change when you don't have your period. Mine stopped due to chemo & I have to get tests and a shot every 6 months. Again I'm sorry this is so long. If you don't mind please send me a message when they get this figured out so I know you will be alright.
