I think you need to go to the doctor! NOW! The doctor can give you a blood test and put your mind at ease.

Two months without a period could mean a number of things, and only a doctor can tell you what is going on with your body. It doesnt necessarily mean that you are pregnant. If you have something wrong, you could be prolonging treatment.

Lack of the period is the first serious sign of pregnancy but not always. There are other conditions, beside pregnancy, which can also cause lack of the period (amenorrhea). The only way you can confirm or exclude pregnancy for sure is to do a pregnancy test. If the test is negative then you are probably not pregnant. At your age, if not pregnant, lack of the menstruation is usually due to existence of some functional ovarian cyst. As long as the cyst is active (usually 2-3 months) the period won’t come.
You can wait for another month and if menstruation doesn’t happen you may want to consult your gynecologist.
