I started my first period when i was 15 years old and i am now 18 and in between those time periods, i have only had at least 5-6 periodd. but during the early years it was very heavy. The only thing that I think that may cause the delay is me being overweight. what is wrong with me? and what can i do?

kristen22 answered Sunday June 25 2006, 9:44 am: Various things can effect your menstrual cycle. for one, you won't have one unless your body fat is high enough. stress can keep you from menstruating. thyroid abnormalities can keep you from it. Obesity can keep you from it. You need to schedule you an appointment with a OBGYN. Not having your period for that long is not normal. It's your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. You never know, it could and probably is something very minor. Don't get scared and decide not to go. Alot of people, myself included have been through this. What will happen is you 'll have a papsmear done (it'll be about 2 weeks before you get the test results back) and that tells if you have cervical cancer and it checks to make sure your red and white blood cells are ok. The treatment for not having a period is just as simple as this: They put you on birth control. yeppers. It's called Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. It regulates your period for you. You can expect to start pretty soon after taking the green pills in the pack. Hope I've helped ya'... [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
