A few months ago I missed my period. This
is strange for me, because I've never
missed a period before (I'm 20). I've been
on birth control for almost 2 years now
and take it religiously. Anyway, I took
two pregnancy tests four days apart and
they were both negative. The following two
months I had my period like normal, so I
figured it was just stress related. But
then this month I've missed it yet again,
though I've had all my period symptoms! I
took another test and its negative. Now
I've had a crap load of stress this month,
but is this really what it is?
Help! Should I be worried?

only time i missed a period when i wasn't
pregnant was when i had an ovarian cyst.
i don't know what's causing you to miss
your period and no one on here will be
able to tell you. you have to see a
doctor to figure that out. but that's one
reason i know of. it's nothing to be too
worried about if it's that because the
majority of them are benign and go away on
their own or with very little treatment.
still, you need to check it out with your
doctor. i can't really think of anything
else off the top of my head except stress
and weight loss or gain can cause it if
it's extreme. it seems to me some std's
can cause it as well but i'm not too sure
about that one. hopefully it's nothing
but i'd get it checked out just to be
safe. good luck.

Hey, it does sound like it is just stress.
I wouldn't worry about it too much!

Hey, about a month ago I was under a TON
of stress and my period was late, so it
can happen!

also after time, some birth control pills
can cause you to skip periods, or stop you
from getting them full stop and it could
take a couple of years. I was on birth
control for only 6 months and i stopped
getting periods full stop so it could be
that

Thanks guys.
It sucks because it's nice not having your
period but then all you can do is worry.
Anyway, hearing all these responses is a
sort of relief. Thanks!
