Hi... i havent had a period for 3 months!

i had a smear test and my os was open & i was clearly ovulating, yet no bleed!

I get all my usual symptoms of a period & have had negative tests.

Bloods taken today for hcg and i only use condoms. Not on any regular meds or any significant past medical history!

Any ideas whats causing it?

I am 30 and usually well!

I did a very low calorie diet around 3-4 months ago which i originally blamed for no period- however now im thinking its been a bit long to blame

I like your suggested diagnosis of secondary amenorrhea dut to low calorie dieting.
It is not my area of expertise, but:
1) See your GP, re perhaps some blood tests...hormonal, sexual and others e.g TSH (thyroid), vitamin levels and blood count.
2)I wouldn't consider non pregnant ameorrhea excessively worrying.
3) Nothing sinister springs to mind.

Thank you very much Sqad- im sure things will level out soon enough, Ill know blood test results tomorrow and take it from there!
O.K keep us informed eh!
I had a 4 month spell of amenorrhea around the age of 23. I had various tests which all came back negative.

I was chatting to a lady in Holland & Barrett and she suggested parsley oil capsules. I tried them and I must have ovulated straight away as I had a period a fortnight later. I had periods every 2 weeks for a short period, after which my cycles normalised.
"i had a smear test and my os was open & i was clearly ovulating, yet no bleed! "
what is os? how can they tell you are ovulating from a smear test?
bednobs.....os......cervical orifice.
I had virtually no periods for years, kept trundling to the Dr to sort it out. He always said there was nothing to worry about and in the end there wasn't. I have a son and daughter and can't believe I actually wanted periods!

Thanks i might try those capsules!!

I was told because of the os being open and a clear discharge that I was ovulating!

Thanks roo... x
