    People in the US still won't understand you since you are using stone. I guess a lot of people can't multiply by 14 in their heads. :)

    The more you stress out about it, the worse you will make the situation. I would say that if it's still an issue in 3 or 4 months, call your GYN.

    If she weighed 11 stone at start she was around 154 lbs., and if she lost a stone, she's now 140 lbs. At 5'7" this is slim, but not underweight by any means. I'd increase iron-containing foods like red meat. I never missed in my younger days, but was anemic to borderline a lot, and that was what I was advised. I did have a friend who would miss when she took up an exercise regime and she had to back off the activity level and change her diet whenever she wanted to get pregnant.

    Do you take birth control where your period is regulated? If so and you missed it i might want to get a blood test and just make sure everything is all good.

    If you aren't on BC, and you aren't pregnant, i'd say it's probably fine and normal to have a longer cycle sometimes. If you have lost your period for an extended period of time and have true "amenorrhea" then I would visit the doctor and see what is going on.
