I am glad you asked this question.  I will do my best to answer it in this forum because actually your situation is very complex and you need further work up and study.\n\nFirst, I would think first that you are not ovulating or producing the hormones to have a period.  Your OB/GYN can run tests on your blood to see what your levels are.  If normal then for study as to why your uterine wall is not thickening.\n\nSecond thing to consider with your abdominal cramping is endometriosis.  This is where the menstrual flow goes into your abdominal cavity rather than out of your body as it should\n\nThird. I am sorry to say that your gynecologist just doesn't seem to want to investigate this further.  I would check into seeing another OB/GYN.  Contact your insurance provider to see what other docs take your insurance.\n\nI hope this helps.

If you haven't has sex lately, it's menstrual cramps. Take a warm shower.\n\nIf you have, you're pregnant. Get a test.

haha don't worry there. the first year or two your periods are going to be a little off. it's stil adjusting. don't worrry. some girls even skip a month sometimes. don't worry though. if you feel as though you need to see a doctor..see one. but i really do'nt think you should worry. it happens.

My menstrual cycle has always been irregular, since I was a teen. \n\n(its kinda cool -sometimes I only get 2 to 4 periods a year)\n\nLast year when I was pregnant -I only got one for the whole year !!!!

you should see a doctor to see why this is happening. i don't get it if you've never had your periods-which you should have had so far- or it's something happening just now-maybe a temporary disorder caused by stress or pregnancy.\njust don't take any pills without a medical consultation, because each body has its own needs and what is good for one person may harm another- remember that pills have side-effects too!

Dont worry about it.  The first year or so, it will be irregular.  After that if its still irregular go to a gyn and go on birth control.. it will regulate it and make your cramps less... plus the obvious benefit of reducing the chance of pregnancy.

possibly stress, sometimes even with regular periods...you can still have irregular periods...you should start by mid next week the latest...after that, visit your doctor...

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

Take a second test, stop the birth control until you know for sure..The cramps and no period is what happened when I ended up being pregnant.  Go to the DR.

Try to eat right and do cardio exercising, preferably before your cycle (for obvious reasons). This will cut down on cramps.

You should muster up the strength to take a pregnancy test.   And yes, you should see a doctor.  Even if you're not pregnant, there has to be a reason that you're not having a period.\n\nGood luck to you and I hope you've got a little bean.

Back in August I had my period for 9 days straight....constant cramping, sometimes feeling like contractions, and constant bleeding. (There was even a red ring around the toilet, gross!) Anyways, I KNEW this wasn't normal for me and went to the doc's. Finds out I have ovarian cysts which was causing this, I don't know exactly why, and not saying this is your problem, but if it's not normal for you, which it's obviously not since you are frightened, I would suggest a visit to the old doctor and see what's going on.  The worse he can say is he doesn't know and to keep an eye on it, which unfortunately wouldn't be suprising, but just knowing you went to get it checked on can help calm you down.  Good luck to you!

Don't feel bad.  I only have my period like four time a year.  It could be because of stress, weight, lack of exercise, or a million reasons.  Other people I know have had it, too. The only thing that cured our problem, is we all went to either a gynecologist or planned parent hood and got on birth control.  Once I was put of birth control, my period was perfect.  You should definitely check with a doctor thought, because build up in the uterus from not having a period increases your chances greatly to develop certain female cancers.

I would talk to a doctor, he may have something that he can give you to regulate you.\nYou should only be having a period approximately every 28 days.

Depending on how irregular you are...if it's the type thing where you bleed alot alot of the time...please do go see your GYN.  I have recently gone through the same thing, only bleeding for months at a time.  I found out something was wrong with me.  I'm not saying there is with you but it's best to know and get treated for it.  Either way, it's still good to go because then you will know regardless.  Dr.'s sometimes prescribe birth control to regulate women also.  Which is a wonderful thing. Trust me :) lol

All women have some cramping before and during their periods due to the release of prostaglandins, but pain like that which you describe is never normal.  See your doc to talk about possible reasons, i.e., adenomyosis, fibroids, Endometriosis.  Pain should never cripple you like that; it's your body's way of saying something is wrong.  A lot of women who have Endometriosis of their uterosacral nerve and surrounding region describe what you are saying, so see your gyn to be on the safe side.  Good luck!

diet is sometimes a cause of irregular periods,try a good vitamin,if this fails ask your Doctor about a D&C this is a simple proceedure.painless.....A simple sraping of the uterus and regular periods should resume.The lining in your uterus can sometimes build up when this is scraped out normal periods will return.......and things shoul go back to normal.....Sharlene S
