She gave me birth control and also suspected thyroid issues because of me being on Lithium (didn't help me anyway!) Turns out I had a underactive thyroid. Since then I have been taking the meds to correct that and have had no other problems-all is normal now. In February this year...same thing and got birth control. Had to stop taking it because of work and all.

What do I do? Is it bad for the body not to have a regular period? Should I do anything about it or just flow with it?
Halliebeth, you are a crack-up! "flow with it," indeed. And "geesh". I haven't heard that one for awhile, and I know that you are young. You had to stop taking birth control because of work??? That one stumped me. I stopped having periods very early - probably early 30's if not before. Don't know why, and don't know if it is bad for your body. But the above responders seem to have that rounded up. Just wanted to express appreciation for someone who can laugh at their concerns! lol. billieJ
