Okay, just, but, yeah...

If a theoretical person, let's just call her Dee, right. Dee hasn't a had period in a few months. And she knows that she can't be pregnant, because Dee's a virgin.

Anyway, at what point should Dee start worrying?

(Yes, I'm totally Dee. It's my first initial.)

But yeah. 'Cause I know that it's at least been since before Christmas. Which is a while ago.

I keep thinking that I should mention it to someone. But then they'll ask when my last period was and I'll be all, "I have no clue." And it'll annoy them.

Meh.

I would definitely go to the doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes your period can stop after a time of great stress (I know a girl who didn't start her period again for a couple of months after having appendicitis), but it usually has to be very, very great and traumatic. Have you lost/gained a lot of weight recently? Been exercising heavily? If not, you really, really need to go see the doctor (and you should anyway since it's been over 6 months). It can mean that there's something wrong with your reproductive organs or that your hormones aren't functioning correctly, which are both rather serious to say the least.

Although it's a literal pain, regular periods are usually a sign of good health, and if you miss more than one or two, you should have yourself checked out.

Thanks. I just keep expecting it to just happen again. But, no.

Doctor=good.

You really should see someone sweetie. I, myself haven't had one in 2 and a half months and I'm starting to get worried (I know I'm not pregnant for the same reasons as you).

The last time I skipped this long I wound up having to have a cyst removed from my right ovary and almost losing the ovary.

So, yes. Go see someone about it. And so will I.

Yes. It's a deal.

It doesn't have to be because of something serious. But it might be. So get it checked and refuse to be embarrassed that you don't know when your last period was. I didn't keep track for the first, like, 10 years. ;-)

Thanks for the reassurance in regards to memory.

It depends on your age, I suppose.. if you're anywhere in your teens, it may not have regulated yet but depending on past patterns, just worry if you've always had it every month, on the dot. I remember one year I missed like four or five months and even now I do get the odd late periods.. but do, do go see a doctor and just give them a rough estimate of when you last got your period, your health is more important than their opinion of you..

Thanks.

Echo? Stereo?

I'm here to second everyone else. See a doctor. Doc can give you a little something to get you going. A girl who worked with me once had the same issue, and was told it wasn't healthy to go so long.

And really? You do have a clue. Last one sometime before Christmas. So it isn't exact detail, but it will get Doc's butt in gear, 'cause that's a scary long time.

Thanks. Especially for reminding me that I do have a clue.

*nods* lemme second all the people above. I'm also a virgin but due to my weight, I have very similar problems. I once went 2 years without a period. It slowly worked up to that point, but it wasn't safe. I got a mini lecture from my doc when I went, because the build up in the uterus could've caused all kinds of problems, but I "got lucky". I even went the reverse direction and had a period for three months straight a few years ago. I've been on the pill off and on to regulate my period. I usually stay on it as long as I can remember to. lol It might be "nothing" it might be something that's easily treatable if you go in now. {{positive vibes}}

Due to your weight? That might be the explanation for me. Hmm. Thanks.
