Dear Readers:
I think my life experience is what qualifies me to write this column. I made every mistake imaginable. But have learned from them. Most important I still remember what it was like to be 12, 13, 14, 15, and so on. Currently I am a single mom, I have two wonderful boys. One in college. We are all happy emotionally. We love life, and know that you can too. I try to be the kind of parent that understands. I know that I can help you to understand where you parents are coming from, and help you get over the difficulties of being young. You can even have your parents write to me and I will help them to get over their fears and at least respect you and your feelings. I have been married and divorced twice, so I have experience in that field also. But now I own my own home, and my own business and am successful. Lots of luck to you! Hope to hear from you.

Hello All,
I am a 19 year old woman. I have been off birth control for 5 months (since June). I had my period at the end of June and at the end of July and then it stopped. I have missed my period for 3 months now and I'm worried. When I was 2 weeks late I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. At 3 weeks late I went to the doctor and they took another "pee" test and that also came back negative. At 5 weeks late I took another pregnancy test and it came back negative and I took another one 5 days after that and it still came back negative. I haven't taken a test for a little over a month now (because I am sick of wasting my money). I had severe lower back pain and some nausea for the first month of my missed periods but then it went away. I still haven't gotten my period and I'm just now starting (this past week and a half) to get breast tinglings and nausea and insomnia and my lower abdomen feels very hard and tight. The past few days I have been getting cramping and my legs and hips hurt. I have an appointment on Nov. 4th with my doctor to see what's going on but I would like some input sooner than that so I can kind of try and know what's going on with me. Do you all think I could be pregnant? What else could be wrong with me if I'm not? Any input/advice would be helpful! (link)

There are other reasons for not getting your period, (but not many) How is your diet? Are you very very thin. To you work out a lot and burn calories and fat. Girls who are anorexic, or work out too much and burn too many calories in order to remove as much body fat as possible, will also see that they menstrual cycle stops.
If that is not the case, then you may have a cyst on your ovary. If that is the case, I guess you will find out on Nov. 4th, when you go to the doctor. So many of the tests you took turned out negative, I would say that you are NOT pregnant. If you were experiencing an ectopic pregnancy, or tubular pregnancy, in which the egg fertizing in your tube instead of your uterus, you would be in very much pain (by now) as the egg grew, because the tube is too small to contain it.
Good luck at the doctors. Hope everthing turns out ok.
