Jennifer - it could be so many things from stress and depression, to diet and lifestyle, to ovarian cysts, to hormonal imbalance and so on. Every few years my period goes wacky. I didn't get my period at all from 18 to almost 20 and I skipped it from Jan-July of this year.

When I was younger, I went to muliple gyns and specialists who couldn't find anything wrong. The general consensus was "enjoy not having your period, it's more serious when you get it too heavy/too often" which I didn't really appreciate, since I was sitll having cramps and PMS, just no bleeding and it just doesn't seem healthy or normal for a woman not on birth control to stop menstrating. I finally went to an endochrinologist whose tests also came back all normal, but he suspected I could still be pre-diabetic or have PCOS (it doesn't always show in tests). He put me on insulin-regulating medicine called Metformin and after about a month my period returned to normal and I lost all the weight I mysteriously gained over the past 2 years that I couldn't get off no matter what.

In my case it seems as though just because test results don't show anything, it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. This time around, I don't have medical insurance so I just upped my Metformin and hoped for the best. I seem to be fine now.

You might have to go through a few doctors and many different tests to find a solution, but don't give up and don't let the doctors brush you off and tell you there's nothing wrong. Good luck, let us know what you find out.
