No period for 6 months!

Hey everyone, I've had an irregular menstrual cycle from the beginning. (More than 10 years ago). However, it's been 6 months now! I'm fairly young, in good health, not underweight or pregnant. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

We ARE all different with our periods, and missing your periods for 4-6 months at a time may be perfectly normal for you. I'd still want my OB/GYN to be aware of the situation and make sure there wasn't an underlying medical reason for my skipped periods.

Thanks :)

If anyone else needs more info, I am not a hardcore athlete nor do I over-excise. I've missed my periods before, for four months or so but never this long.

If you are a hard core athlete, as in training vigorously every day, I know that some women will stop menstruating. If this does not describe you, I don't know why you would simply stop having periods and you should see your OB/GYN as soon as possible.
