Hi Anon,
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.
Keep us posted, please!
