It can mean a lot of things.
Sometimes it's totally normal and nothing to be worried about. Most girls have irregular periods and will miss a few periods for the first 2-3 years after their first period. Even later in life a missed period is not always a sign that something is wrong. It's a pretty common occurrence for women of all ages.
You can miss a period if you're very stressed, very athletic, or ill. You could be pregnant, or it could be a sign of a disease.
If you miss multiple periods or if you have other symptoms you should see your doctor.
Stress, anorexia, pregnancy...just about anything can make you skip a period.
do you have sex?
if you do, you could be pregnant.
or if not.. sometimes women just miss them.
There are several reasons why you might skip a period one month:
Age - If you have just started having your period, it might not come every month. If you are an older woman who is approaching menopause, (when your periods stop), you might also skip a period.
Exercise - Excessive exercise might cause you to skip a period.
Stress - Stress and highly emotional times in your life may cause you to miss a period or two.
Illness - If you are sick, you might also miss a period.
If you miss more than a period or two (if you have been having regular periods previously), contact your health care provider.
Why would I stop having my period?
The absence of a menstrual period is called Amenorrhea. This condition describes women who have not had a period in their teenage years or women who used to have a regular period that has stopped. There are several causes for Amenorrhea:
Pregnancy is the most common reason for a woman to stop having her menstrual period
Breastfeeding
Extreme weight loss that can be caused by serious illness, eating disorders, or excessive exercising
Gland problems (pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal)
Reproductive problems
You could have just missed it. Which is no big deal. Or you could be pregnant. Which is a very big deal if your not ready to be a mom. Tell your mom about it and she can make a doctors appointment if needed or just comfort you if you have a lot of stress about it.
