Question Posted Saturday December 30 2006, 8:26 pm
- I haven't had my period in the last four months. I am not sexually active with boys so I can't be pregnant. Although like dark brown spots show up in my underwear. I'm so scared but I don't know what it could be. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Its nothing to worry about trust me..
Okay if you are skinny and a runner/athlete/very active like me and have a high metabolism you wont get your period normal. Atleast thats what my doctor told me.
Those brown spots are what your "supposable" period should be but your body for some reason doesnt show blood.
One time i didnt get my period for almost 5 months but then i got it..you will to. Unless your really worried then go see your doctor :) [ Tara66's advice column | Ask Tara66 A Question ]

How long have you had your period? Some girls, when they first start to get periods, may skip a month or two and what little fluid does turn up is kind of brownish (this happened to me). Other reasons for "amenorrhea" (the medical term) include problems with your ovaries or problems with your thyroid. There's nothing to be scared about, but I know it's easier for me to say than for you to feel. Believe me, what you describe doesn't sound fatal, or even really embarrassing (unless it's happening to you, I guess). If you just started getting your period within the last six months, breathe a sigh of relief and forget the whole thing. If "new period" isn't the answer to your problem, you need to tell your mom and see a doctor--not because there's anything horribly wrong, but because he or she can fix you right up. Honest!
