I haven't gotten my period for over 3 months now! Is something wrong with my body?! ?

Question

I'm 17 years old and I began my period when I was only 11 years old.The last time I had my period was in the middle of May(I think). Now it's Aug. already! The pattern of my periods were not regular most of the time. I mean I did had my periods delayed over 2 or 3 months before. But usually only over a month until these last two years. I don't know what I should do. How can I make my periods regular again?! A few weeks ago, I went to the clinic for a physical check up for girl's tennis and the doctor ask me about my periods. I told him that I haven't had my period for almost 3 months now, and he said I should go see a gyno.(I don't know how to spell it, but it is a female doctor) to check up and see if everything is ok. Is it necessary to go check up or should I just wait for my period. To be honest, these few months I wasn't really under any stress at all since it's summer vacation and all. However, I was sick for a few weeks during these few months. Plus, tennis practice just started about a week ago and before that I didn't exercise much. Oh..I'm on a diet too now. I just started a few days ago though.

How much is for a check-up at the female doctor, for my menstrual cycle?

I might convince my mom to go if it's not too expensive.

Thanks for all the help!!

Answer 1

are you pregnant?

Answer 2

It could be caused by working out too much. That happened to me when I was doing soccer and cross country at the same time.

Answer 3

You def need to see a gynecologist asap. I have irregular periods too and was diagnosed with PCOS. You may have this too, its pretty common among girls. Not having a period for 3 months is not normal and you'll must likely need to regulate it with bcps.

Answer 4

If you are insured, all you'll have to pay is a copay. I'm sure you won't have to do much convincing to get your mom to take you to a doctor...
