Do you normally have irregular periods?
There are many reasons for a skipped or missed period. These include:
■Dramatic weight loss, particularly from drastic diets, eating disorders including anorexia and bulimia , or excessive exercise
■Dramatic weight gain or morbid obesity
■Malnourishment
■Birth defects including lack of a uterus, vagina, or other reproductive organs
■Medical conditions including cystic fibrosis , Cushing's disease , polycystic ovary , or Prader-Willi syndrome
■Psychological stress—can lead to a hormonal imbalance sufficient to cause amenorrhea.
■Medications—some antidepressants, chemotherapeutics, corticosteroids, certain contraceptives.
■Chromosomal abnormalities
■Hermaphroditism (having both male and female reproductive organs)
■Pituitary tumor
■Thyroid dysfunction
■Uterine scarring
Meprate will induce your period and I'm glad he will be performing an ultrasound after that to diagnose what could potentially be the reason for your missed period.
