ive recently lost weight and my period has been gone since march. i am kind of worried but i hear that its not serious unless its over a certian period of time. the thing is that im worried it might affect my bone stregnth and future "egg" situation (pregnancy). i dont want to not be able to get pregnant because i missed my period for too long. i do't want to have frail bones because i have abstence of calcium. And the thing is that I used to drink 2% milk like water, now i drink skim milk maybe 2 times a day. should i drink more milk? should i buy calcium supplements? should i just stop freaking out and wait for my period?

It can come late, it can come early, or it won't come at all. Just don't scare yourself, this is normal. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

You're right to be concerned. It can cause all those problems that you listed. It's not something you should try and fix yourself since it's been gone for several months.
Better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your health. Your doctor might tell you to wait and see, or he or she might take aggressive action to fix it. The important thing is to find out.
