How serious are missed periods? I haven't had one since

my girlfriend never had more than 8 in a year. now she has an iud and none ever.

>>16884595
So it's normal that they're random?

>>16884602
well, it's normal for her. when she went to the doctor and mentioned it they did a basic blood test to make sure it was not an iron deficiency or anything and it was not.

>>16884621
>iron deficiency
I've been allowed to donate blood and all, and it's been fine.

>tfw got a new phone and have no idea where my last period tracker left off
>feels like quite a while
Godspeed

But honestly have you had any drastic change in exercise, whether more or less? Sometimes that can mess with your body's regularity.

I started a new, fairly physical job in February, but my period was supposed to start on the 7th, the job interview was on the 10th and the job started on the 15th.

I've been trying to track my periods since november but they don't seem to have any consistency. They'll come on the second week of the month if they come at all.

>>16884652
So youve had periods skip before? Maybe its stress? Mine are sometimes right on time or a week later than an app says. Theyre weird.

>>16884633
You require more minerals

id say its not that big of a deal
it could be worse you could be me and [spoiler] have had unprotected sex [/spoiler]

I don't know how often they've skipped, I've never kept track of them properly before, but I certainly don't recall them being a monthly affair.

A tree falls in the woods and my period skips.

Does general anxiety count? Does your body still consider it stress if it's all in your head? Could I use this as proof of an anxiety disorder?

How long can a period keep skipping? Can it cause serious problem if it doesn't come for long enough?

my girlfriend has a strange cycle, it's not always consistent and sometimes she is like a week or two late for her period. But honestly I don't think you need to worry about it as long as you're not worried about it being a pregnancy. Irregular cycles + having a lot of sex = a lot of anxiety.

You could try using birth control to regulate your cycle, that's what my gf has been doing. And it's been really nice to know exactly when it's coming.

I don't have sex at all, and I'm worried about the hormones.

Isn't it just estrogen in pills? What does it do?

Glory. I'm 36 and have absolutely never had regular periods. I was diagnosed with PCOS about 15 years ago. This past year I had three heavy periods in two months, one the next month, one late, and now just feeling pain in my boobs (probably another period in 1-2 weeks).
>period fracker is a good plan
>if you haven't had sex then you should be fine
>worry after 3 months (go to dr)

>>16884814
So three months is the limit?

>>16884710
Stress can definitely put your period back, even if it is "all in your head". My husband once had a girlfriend who was so stress out about the possibility of being pregnant that she put her period off for months.

How do women function at all.

>>16884904
At the expense of men

>>16884911
How do I make a man deal with my anxiety on my behalf?

>>16884921
Blame him for it and buy happy pills

You could have PCOS. It's actually quite common.

>>16884922
You can just BUY anxiety pills?

>>16884926
How do I know?

You can buy anything Ricky Retardo

>>16884939
Where can I buy them?

Can I seriously just walk to a pharmacy, get a box from the shelf, pay for it and walk out? Just like buying painkillers?

>>16884932
Are you fat? Do you get acne/a moustache?

>>16884932
>You can just BUY anxiety pills?
in Mexico you can walk into a pharmacy and buy whatever prescription medications you want, everything is over the counter. Medications are a lot cheaper down there as well.

>>16884586
Get bloodwork done
Or see a gyno. It is strange to not have your period for that long.

>>16884987
Fat, no. I get like 3 moustache hairs on the left corner of my mouth, though.

So they're illegal in Europe still? What if I can't afford a spontaneous flight to another continent? Don't they check you for drugs in the airport?
