No period for 10 weeks?
I am a 30 year old woman with a 3 year old. I always had my period every 4-5 weeks. Never had any fertility problems, I got pregnant right away 4 years ago. Now I haven't had a period in over 10 weeks. I haven't started or stopped any birth control methods, so it's not that. I am not pregnant, I have taken countless pregnancy tests. I haven't stopped or started any new exercise routine or diet. Is this something to worry about? It seems like a symptom of PCOS, but this has never happened before and I didn't have a hard time conceiving. Could it just come out of nowhere? I gained 5-10 lbs. Could that have such a big effect? Should I see my doctor? The only change I made is I stopped taking my anti-anxiety meds. I slowly tapered off of them because I felt I didn't need them. Would that have an effect on my period? I'm starting to get concerned. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't think you have PCOS, that tends to surface in teens or early twenties. It could be related to stopping meds, or to the weight gain (or indeed, these two things may be related). Or it could equally be something else.
I think it would be wise to get checked out by your doctor. Ten weeks is a long time for someone who has been previously regular. Please make an appointment.
