Missed period for 4 months, last period was 11/24/17, what is wrong?

All I have are hot flashes, no bleeding or cramps. I'm not pregnant, I've taken multiple tests and they all come out negative.

I had really long cycles for over a year in which I had periods every 3 to 4 months BUT, lucky me, got pms symptoms starting at three weeks in and they lasted the whole time.  What a joy, right?  What my issue was included a slow thyroid which they call hypothyroidism and also a hormone imbalance in which I actually produced TOO MUCH estrogen.  Those combined were deadly to my cycle.  For me, they self regulated out of nowhere.  I was on my way to an endocrinologist as in waiting for my appointment as it took a while to get one and thankfully it all resolved on it's own.  I have been regular ever since.  good luck

Sounds like your estrogen is low. Have your doc check your hormone levels. You might have a cyst or something else going on.

When I was pregnant with my little boy 6 years ago my obgyn told me I had cysts but they weren't bad (they checked it). That day I found out my family (on my mom's side) has ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cysts. I don't have medical insurance and I don't get paid enough to see anyone about it, but it has me worried that something isn't right, I'm usually normal but instead I've missed 4 periods.
