Hi,
two years is an awfully long time to go
without a period. Especially seeing as
how you are only 20yrs old. Have you been
on any kind of birth control? There are
quite a few different things that can
cause you to go without your period. Pcos
(polycystic ovarian syndrome) is a
possibilty but 2 years seems a long time
to go without a period even for someone
with pcos. I know you said you have no
medical insurance but the best advice to
offer is to go and see a gyno or a doctor
about it. People in forums like this can
give you all the advice in the world, but
it's not going to put your mind at ease
until you know for sure.
Good luck though!
Cian

No im not on any birth control. A doctors
visit is so expensive for me right now so

Hi,
if I were you no matter how much a
doctors visit is what ever is wrong is
worth knowing. You might be in the same
boat that I am in. I was told when I was
18 that I could not have any children. I
hope that is not the problem you are
having. I do not wish that on any one.
Just go get checked, if there is something
seriously wrong u need to know. Would you
rather get stuck with a couple hundred
dollar bill or lose your life.

They are inexpensive and everywhere
(sliding scale), are polite and kind, and
can do prettly much everything from
emergency contraception to birth control
to paps to helping you throughout your
pregnancy! They don't cost so much, and
should be able to help you with pretty
much anything you need, I think.
Also, do you eat enough? You lose your
period if you don't have enough nutrients,
like if your starving or something. Then,
usually, when you start eating it comes
back. I think your supposed to have a
min of 4/year, but I could be wrong. I
only had one twice a year, once in the
winter and once in the summer, for 2-3
years when I was anorexic, altho i'd only
barely begun to menstrate b4 getting
'sick'. Docters blamed it on my only
beginning to menstrate, said it would even
out after awhile. Eventually I started
eating more, if not alot, and it came back
and is mostly regular. So it could be
related to that.
Good luck! You should def see a doc tho,
no matter what!
Hello, I can kind of relate to this
situation. Im 5'3 and 120lbs, I compete
in fitness competitions and love running
and weight training, however, I have not
had a period in at least 4 monthes! I
know im not pregnant, but im afraid that
the low bodyfat perce. Is causing this
and hurt my chances in becoming pregnant
someday. Im engaged and about to get
married and I want to have children within
a couple of years. I love fitness and
working out but having children someday
has priority. Any advice???
