I do intend on making a doc appt asap but it would probably be a waste of my time if I went to a clinic in the meantime. Thank you for the advice. My symptoms have been such a rollercoaster (fine one day, sick the next) that i'm just miserable so i've been searching for quick answers

and of course, they are none. The missed period freaked me out because i'm as regular as they get when it comes to periods (almost to the hour). I know stress isn't the issue and neither is diet. I know the list of things that can affect cycles is very, very long but none of them seemed to fit my situation. Hence, I freaked
so, after much discussion with other boards and friends, I 've determined that it's either something female related (like a cyst) or a thyroid problem. I found out today that my insurance should start sept 1st, which is a relief and really not that long to wait. Before then, i'm due for my next period so that might rule out pregnancy before I get to make an appt.
Thanks for the advice though! It helps when you're not sure what your body is doing!
