Last resource for your mom, from ACOG:
Menstruation for Teens, "There are many other reasons for a missed period. The most common reason is pregnancy. Other reasons you might miss your period include:
* Sudden change in weight
* Illness
* Stress
* Extreme exercise (such as running long distances each day)
* Hormone problems
* Taking certain medicines
A young woman should see her doctor if she has not started having periods by age 15 years or if she has not had a period for 3 months. (If you have had sex and think you might be pregnant, see your doctor right away.). "
