Thread: Almost 3 Months Late

Hi,

I don't think it is abnormal for a girl your age to have this happen. So, try not to panic. It's especially true if you have had extra stress from school, a change in your sleep pattern (maybe you are going to bed/getting up earlier for school than you were over the Summer?) - any number of things can cause this.

However, it might be a good idea for you to do a little research online because it is also possible that you have a cyst. You can have one without pain and they are very common. However, it "probably" is not that.

I'm sure your mother "cares", she just knows that it is not uncommon for this to happen. If this really starts to bother you, or you go another month, I would try a different approach with her. I'm not a parent, but I am an adult, and my guess is that if you approach her calmly and tell her you want to talk, and you pick a time that works for her (in other words, she is not running out the door to work or hurrying to get somewhere), and bring her information that you've found online, and tell her that you are really worried that it could be something and it is really stressing you out, maybe then she will let you go to the dr. I think sometimes it is all about the way you approach something, not just the actual matter at hand.

good luck! And again, try not to worry- doing so can actually cause the problem!

Hello,
I am going through the exact same problem! I haven't had my period since July, either. I have, however, gone two to three months without my period as well.
As teens, we do have so much stress.
Right now, so much is going through my mind. Most of my friends have made the wrong desicion to do drugs, chemistry sucks, my dad was diagnosed with Lymphoma a little bit ago and has to go through radiation, my brother just got suspended for possession.. you get it. People do not understand how much teens go through, especially girls. I am 5'8' and weigh around 125, but seeing models on tv and in magazines really makes me feel bad about myself.
And yes, your weight and diet does affect your period very much. I am very unhealthy when it comes to food. A girl needs her ice cream and chocolates!!
I suggest going to a doctor. I am going this month on the 30th, and plan to ask a nurse about it. My mom also seems not to care, she thinks it's 'normal' to be late. Not 3 months late, though.
If I find anything interesting out, I'll let you know. I hope you will do the same.
Good luck!

Fat releases hormones (why a lot of obese women grow more hair than others, have deeper voices, etc.). These hormones do all sorts of bad stuff to your body, including making your periods irregular, whether they become constant or nonexistent. I'd say it's a combination of obesity and stress over it causing the weird periods. :\
