Body not working right


Question Posted Thursday March 1 2007, 1:41 am

I got my first period at age 12 and had them regularly until I was about 17. Then I started skipping periods. I figured it was because I was stressed or losing weight but it hasn't stopped. Sometime I get them regularly and then other times I skip a few months.
Right now, I haven't had a period since October.
Also, my breasts are uneven. I know a lot of women don't having matching boobs but one of mine is a C and the other is a B. It's very noticable, especially in the summer.
Also, I have a tendency to feel cold all the time and I have a hard time trying to maintain my weight considering I work out several times a week and my family has pretty good metabolism.
Sounds like hypothyroidism, right? Nope. I've tried two different doctors who have figured that's what it was and run blood tests but it has come out negative.
Does anybody have any idea what else this could be? I've taken a look at Polycystic ovary syndrome but I know a few friends who have it and they aren't anything like me but the two doctors have never brought it up.

Having you been tracking periods long term? I found there are two months out of the year when I don't get them. As for the breast size, yes thats normal - and a cup size variance is about average.

Cold? Look at your iron intake/anemia, thyroid or diabetes.

As for maintaining weight, track your calories and keep your current workout schedule. You shouldn't do more than twenty minutes of cardio a day, or you'll burn to much calories. Focus on weight training and toning. Once you figured out how much calories you eat, increase it little by little until you find you can gain or maintain better. Currently, I have a fast metabolism (oh, and I'm always freezing), and need to have 3500 calories to maintain my weight. Even then, I'm still considered underweight.

Next, if you're doctor has had a blood test and tested for a variety of things - you could be just healthy.

It sounds to me like triple X syndrome:

I'm not a doctor, though, and that's who you should really really talk to.
