It could be a hormonal issue-like thyroid, or just stress if you've missed two in a row, so I wouldn't worry, but you should give you doctor a call. They may give you something to jump start your period and get you back on track.

Charting your periods on a calendar or in a notebook might help you understand your body's unique patterns, so you may want to start that now even though you've missed. The first day of your period is cycle day one-just start and go from there. It seems like a pain to do-but after keeping track for 2 weeks, it's second nature. After a couple of months, you'll be able to tell a lot of things about yourself, and you'll become more in-tune with your body.

I hope all is well with you Take care!

charting your period is a great idea, I actually chart every month using http://www.mymonthlycycles.com/home.jsp
It really is a great site, helps by letting you know your ovulation date etc

Great site-thanks for posting that. I think we could all take advantage of that-whether it's for preventing or planning pregnancy, knowing our bodies' natural patterns, or just having a record for when we go to the doctor.

I dont feel so worried now. I may have hypothyroidism but my thyroid # are all over the place, and theyve ruled out pregger and a pitatuary gland tumor. Ive got some other odd syptoms but the DR. I have been seeing is a quack. Next week I start seeing a Endrocronigist to rule out what he knows then off to the Gyno to rule out more with them. I just want answers. If I get some Ill let everyone know.

I havent had a period on my own since the first part of may... I had two periods since then and it was because my dr. gave me some pills to start it... well it was suppose to make me regular but nope... never did.,.. my dr said it could be because of 3 dif. things.... 1 it could be cancer, 2 my brain was telling my body not to ovulate. and i forgot the third... but i know its not cancer for me! the test came back normal!
