Why am I having phantom periods?

I have a problem where I occasionally have phantom periods . My period was supposed to be here days ago but, while I still have the same symptoms (backache, cramps, nausea, headache, mood swings, acne, etc.), I've yet to shed a drop. This has been going on off-&-on for years now (at maybe 3 or 4 times a year) - worst case scenario, I haven't had a period for 3 months in a row.

I finally decided to look into it last night, and I found that they only time a PP is normal is during pregnancy & during peri-menopause. I'm 20 yrs. old & have never been sexually active.

As you can probably tell by now, my periods are horribly irregular (and increasingly painful) & always have been. My main concern is if it's harmful in any way or the whole thing is a sign of an oncoming issue. Has anyone dealt with this before, and in someone my age?

Update:

Things I should mention: I have a family history of fibroids.

    I have this problem sometimes and like you I'm only young. It has happened to me for 5 months at a time before now and it can be really irritating. Doctors have done blood tests and don't know what it is. They just try and throw me on the pill which is annoying as it doesn't make it go away. I was once given a homeopathic remedy called menodoron and I didn't take it for long before I got pregnant however it's supposed to be good. I'm not worried because I can have children. I have given birth and conceived naturally without any issues twice. If you want to put your mind at rest seek medical advice, but it doesn't necessarily indicate any serious problem. My periods are naturally just irregular as well. It might just be you and how your body works.

    Go to the doctor! There are some illnesses that can impersonate pregnancy, and give you all the symptoms and everything, but you dont actually have a baby! So i would go to a doctor to check this out!
