My (not) period?!
Question:
My (not) period?
I'm 13, about 5'1" , 90 lbs, am a 34 a or aa, have hair down there and armpit hair... I had discharge for a long time, but it just kind of stopped about two months ago. Why did it stop? Mom says maybe my hormones just temporarily shut off... and, I've been having short-lived cramps--i dont know if they're gas or cramps or what. I haven't gotten my period yet, either. Please help me!
Answers:
try putting on some weight. since you are quite small your body may have shut down the reproductive cycle as a protective mechanism. It happens a lot with runners. Think about it, if you were to get pregnant your body does not have the reserves to support you and a baby, so you could both die. Its not really true nowdays when food is readily available however, but try putting on five pounds. you should also see your doctor just in case it is something more severe going on. You also may need to go on birth control pills to regulate your cycle if your hormones are unbalanced.
