Answer 2

im not sure but if you exercise a lot (especially swimming) your period will stop. just to be on the safe side, see a doctor.

good luck! =]

Answer 3

Well unless you're on birth control and skipping the placebo week in order to not have your period, you definitely need to go see your doctor. It sounds like a hormone imbalance, or any number of causes. Some are totally minor, but it could also be serious. Go get it checked out as soon as you can. Don't let something like that go on too long. Depending on what the cause is, it could end up causing you a lot of problems.

Good luck!!!

Answer 4

I'm not a lady doctor, and I'm not a lady, but I don't think that's normal.

This might be one of those cases when you should ask a doctor for advice.

Answer 5

I just posted about PCOS actually....

You DEFINITELY have to go to the doctor and tell them about this. 3 months without a period is bad... 6 months is A LOT WORSE.

You NEED to have a period every month so that the lining of your uterus can be shed.

If you don't have your period for a long time, the lining of your uterus will build up and eventually cause cancer. That is what my doctor told me. Her patient was 32 when that happened to her. Cancer at 32. Can you believe that? That's why my doctor said she was glad I told her about MY infrequent periods.

So PLEASE... go to the doctor. Your health is important.

Answer 6

You should always fill your doctor in on whatever you think is wrong. I'm a guy I don't know but if your concerned do what feels right.

Answer 7

in some girls periods are abnormal. i know this 50 year old woman who has only had 2 periods in her whole lifetime before. she went to see a doctor but everything was okay. but if you want to be on the safe side and be positive nothing is wrong then go see a doctor

Answer 8

If you're not on the pill, I'd see a doctor just to find out why...twice a year seems like very little.  I used to get mine every other month, but it became more regular as I got older.
