No Period Since Last Summer (summer of 2004) Posted: 03-20-05 03:56am
I'm 15 and I haven't had my period since
last summer. At first I wasn't worried,
but now I am! I have told my mom this but
she thinks it's normal,(maybe a little
worried) but I want other ppl's view of
this. I have told one of my friend's mom
this and she said it might be from stress.
Please help me!!

Okay so I have a few things to say about
this. I just went to my doctors for the
same thing pretty much. I have heard on
two seperate occations of women who dont
have their peiod for such a long time and
it was all caused by cervical cancer.
(not trying to scare you!!!)
last summer I had a period in june than
the next period I had was in december.
Than after that period I didnt have one
until just this week. When I went to the
doctors she said it is not at all healthy
for you to skip your period more than 3
mths in a row. Unless of course it is
monitored by your doctor or you are on a
certain type of birth control that doesnt
allow you to have them. In any case you
should really speak to your mother and let
her know that you would feel much more at
ease if you went to see your doctor. You
are so young, you dont want to mess
anything up for the future just because
you never went to the doctors. I am now
on birth control pills which will regulate
my period. Even though you might not be
sexually (i hope not you are so young
still) active you might want to start
taking birth control. (of course you
would have to talk to your doctor for
that). If you dont have any sort of
medical coverage; try going to planned
parent hood, if you have one near you.
They will provide you with the care you
need at no cost.
I am not sure if any of this will help you
or not, but I hope you at least go and see
a doctor to see what is wrong with your
body.
Good luck to you and take care of
yourself.

Hey hun
first of all don't stress it can be from a
number of things. Have you lost lots of
weight gained lots of weight, are you
going through losts of strss?? Either way
I would definitly get checked out. Have
you been to a gyno before or a pap smear??
I hadn't till this year and I was so
nervous (i'm 20) it wasn't as bad as I
thought it was goingto be mine was because
I hadn't had my period since jan 04 and
for like 2 days of spoting. The way I see
it as i'd rathr know whats up even if its
bad then let my imagination dream what
could be up! (and believe me I have a
wild imagination) well anyway let us know
how everything goes.
