Irregular periods since they started...nothing for 8 months?
I have never had regular periods, I started for the first time at 15 (even though I had been fully developed in every other area from about 10-11), and for a while had one EXTREMELY light period every so often (never a regular interval between them). I am now 21, I went on the pill a little less than three years ago, and while I was on it, I had regular periods (although still a little on the light side). However, I also had a lot of emotional/hormonal issues while I was on it, so I decided to stop taking the pill in April, and I haven't had a single period since. I am not pregnant (took a test this morning), and I am in a normal weight range, no eating disorder or abnormal exercise or anything like that.
I have had 3 thyroid tests, all of which came back normal, and my gynecologist just says to go back on the pill and come back with questions when I want kids.
Is this normal, or does it sound like there is something going on that I should try to figure out?

I was like that when I first started menstrating too. My OB/GYN told me that it can take anywhere from seven to ten years for a woman's hormones (she said the name of the hormone that is out of whack when this happens....it's about 15 characters long) and suggested, too, that I go on the pill. When I went off of the pill I still didn't get pregnant and my husband and I just winged it for two years. Come to find out, my progesterone level was low and that's why my periods were all over the place. I'd have this checked out...there's medication for low progesterone that will get your cycles back on track without having to be on birth control pills. Good Luck!

Has ANYONE here seen "I din't know I was pregnant"????? They didn't have ANY symptoms, some didn't even get bigger and they were still pregnant. I say take a test, go to the doctor. Seek medical help or family. Do NOT take ANY chances.
