Q: 18/f

I have had a regulated period for the last year or two, and have recently come across a problem regarding it. In July of 2009, my period stopped. I got signs that it might be coming, but it never did. In December of 09, I finally thought I was going to get it and I never did. Instead, I started spotting. I would get times where I would bleed (so I would assume it was my period), but then the bleeding would stop later in the day. This has been going on for the past month.

I don't know what to do. I can't really see a doctor because my dad's health insurance dropped me, and I was recently let go from my job. My boyfriend and I are in debt, so neither of us could really pay for a doctor's appointment. (His doctor charges $70 for a check-up with her if you're not insured).

I was thinking of going to Planned Parenthood on Saturday to maybe get some birth control because I'm thinking maybe the BC would help regulate me again and get me back to normal, but I want an opinion first before I go and spend money I don't really have.

I know none of you are doctors, but if any of you have an idea of what this might be and what I could, please please help me. This is not only concerning my boyfriend and I, but it's also ruining my sex life. If you can't help, thanks for your time and I'll give the doctor a call tomorrow. :) Thank you in advance!

well first off why is it ruining your sex life? there is no way you are pregnant is there? have you tried a pregnancy test? do that before you try birth control. yes bc can regulate your periods. do some research on line google. why periods may just stop.

I've tried Google, WebMD, and nothing comes even remotely close to this. I took a pregnancy test and the results were negative. And if I was pregnant, I think I would've been showing by now because I'd probably be 6 months along.
