My first advice would be to contact your doctor. It is common for teen women to stop getting their period from time to time. This could be due to stress or a change in your diet. Many times when teens change their diet, their period stops. It may not be anything serious. Your cycle may be irregular and your doctor may be able to take steps to regulate your period.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to come back again with any problems or questions you might have.

Hmmm. You need to go to the doctor.. If yah havent....

Mandi, My daughter has this same problem from time to time. She was on birth control pills for awhile to regulate her periods. It did regulate them; but her and I did not want her on them for any length of time. Also, the doctor has prescribed provera for her to bring her period on. This works. She treats with a GYN regularly. There is nothing wrong with her. It is just that her periods are irregular. You should see a GYN so that he/she can do an examination and make sure everything is O.K. Keep track and let the doctor know how far apart your periods are; and when your last period was. The more information they have, the better it is in helping you with this problem. Good luck with everything. I wish you well. sincerely, moose

Hey. Dont worry about it. that happpened to me too.. sometime i wouldnt get it for a month.. last time was three months.. no period. i went to the doctor and he gave me a pregnancy test..since im a virgin i knew it would be negstive.. and it was. so he said.. that it was because i might not have enough body fat to retain a period. becuz u have to have a certain amount to have one.. so see the doctor and maybe you arent eating enough.. i thought i was fine with eating habbits but i would skip meals and not eat to healthy.. but i eat more and more healthy and i havent missed one since.. (its been about three months..) but yeah.. i was really scared and thought i had something wrong with me.. but it was just my body fat.. well i hope u get ur monthly friend soon!!!!!!!! good luck..
