Okay where to begin.

I am 18 years old and I have never been regular(you know in the period sense) it seems like whenever I have a month that is traumatic in the past it comes, but regardless it never does by its self. I started when I was 16 and even then and now I am very infrequent (yet I am fully developed regardless its pesky problem).

I haven't gotten it in December at all. And I am wondering what can be helped with this. I heard the pill helps with adjusting hormones. Is that my problem low hormones or maybe more? Has anyone else had this problem and would like to share what they did for help? Or is it a case for the gyn to step in? I am very confused by this.

Thank you for your help or suggestions

My suggestion is to see your doctor. Stress can definitely affect your period. Often times birth control pills are used to regulate your cycle. However, it's best to see you doctor to determine the cause of your problem and what the best way to deal with it is. If you don't have an OB/Gyn, your family doctor will be able to help or refer you to an OB/Gyn if necessary.

I really hope this is the right place for such a thing

I agree that going the pill at a low dose might be able to help...... it helped my niece when she was 15 and having similar issues with her cycle - plus the doctor advised her to put on a little weight, for she was under weight and it was effecting her monthly cycle as well.

Very normal issue for young women. I'd make an appointment with your doc for a physical.

Thank you guys for your help. Yes I will try to go to the doctor I have to reschedule one anyway for a check up and hopefully he will ask about the problem.

Yes I went to a gyn before and they said they wanted me on the pill why I didn't take it then I don't know. But thank you for the help and I will up date you guys any farther.
