I haven't had my period?!
Question: I'm not sexually active; and the last time I had my period was in November, or perhaps late October. I've been worrying if I was pregnant, but this couldn't be possible since I'm not sexually active. Could this be because of my eating habits? I usually skip Breakfast (I just take a fruit snack in the morning, but that's not enough to consider "breakfast"), I eat Lunch, but i skip dinner. What could be causing this delay? Easy 10 points for best DETAILED answer. =)

dont worry about being pregnant if your not sexually active. and dont get too stressed about it. i also have irregular periods a lot ive been to the doctor several times and they all have told me its normal. my mother and sister also get irregular periods and the doctors say it is common to run in the family so ask your mom if she has the same problem. as far as i know an irregular period can be caused by not eating enough calories like you said about skipping breakfast, not exercising enough, being overweight, being too stressed, being underweight, but there can also be a more serious problem so you may want to go see the doctor just in case. i hope i helped you a little, good luck!
I don't think it's because of your diet. It's very common to have an 'irregular' period, which means that you can skip a period here and there, or have it late. Whatever the case is, it's best to have yourself checked out by a doctor, but if you're not sexually active, you're certainly not pregnant.
I would suggest that you definitely look towards your eating habits as a possible reason for you not getting your period regularly. Breakfast is essential, I for one can't cope without my breakfast so perhaps you should wake up that little bit earlier so you can make yourself something. You should really be having dinner too, 3 meals a day. Try it and just see if it helps. Although, situations like this are not uncommon, my sister had irregular periods until she had a baby. Just try eating more though, for your general health as well!
I don't know your age, but when I started mine (13) they were very irregular. I think the first year I had them 4 times or so. If you worry about it, go see a doctor.
So many things can cause a disruption in a normal menstrual cycle. I would go get a check up at the gyn just to make sure it isn't something really serious. I was given birth control around 18 even though I wasn't sexually active because I wasn't getting my period every month.
you must have a balanced diet......
Unfortunately you did not mention your age and your menstrual history. In general the menstrual cycle is genetically and hormonally determined cycle in women reproductive system.
Menstrual cycle is very specific and individual, and can range 24 days to 37 days (NORMAL). Duration is not so important but the regularity is very important. At the beginning cycles could be not regular
