No period in a year
17/f
Alright, this is sort of embarassing, but I havent had my period in a very long time. I started when I was 13 and have been irregular ever since I started.
I've only had about 9-10 periods in my life. I was concerned about it before, but when I talked to nurses they always told me it was alright to be irregular.
I've always felt really bad about it though. So a couple years ago I went on birth control (to regulate it). It worked, but it became a hassle because everytime i forgot to take a pill, i'd get a period. So I quit that.
But its been over a year now? Or around there since my last period. Im 17 years old. And im just wondering...that cant be healthy right?
I know I should be asking a doctor these questions, but I havent been to one in ages and its hard to make an appointment (they're always booked for months)
But this is probably going to have a bad effect on me im guessing. My biggest fear is that I wont be able to have children in the future.
So I guess what im asking is does anyone else have this problem? or has heard of someone with this problem?
...what do you all think of it? Should I be worried? Should I go back on the pill?

You know what? You're right. You should go to a doctor.
The condition of not having your period for more than three months in a row is called amenorrhoea, and it can be a symptom of reproductive system problems.
By the way, no need to be embarrassed about your period (or lack thereof).

It's normal to be irregular, yes, but to the point where you don't get your periods for a year? No. That is NOT normal, and you really need to see better doctors. Any doctor that tells you that not having your period for a year is loony and needs to give up his rights as a physician ASAP.
You've had your period for 4 years - it should've regulated by now. Go see a doctor (a good one), and get yourself some help. That doesn't sound normal in the least to me.

my sister has the exact same problem!she would go almost two years and not have a period!she went to the doctor and they told her the same thing! I think that you should listen to the doctor because they have probably had alot of patients with the same problem and if their were any bad effects later on in life caused by your lack of periods,I'm pretty sure they'd tell you! I do not think you should go back on the pill because my mom(who is a doctor) says that it gives you ulcers.most ulcers don't cause to many problems but some may grow and that can become a huge health risk! I say that you should not worry about it because like the doctor said it is normal!jus be lucky you don't have cramping and bloating monthly like I do:)!lol
