I'm sure some ladies might be envious of my situation, but it has worried me; I haven't had my period in 4 years.
I was a late bloomer, didn't get my period until 15. I've never had cramps. My period has seldom been normal, lasting for 10 days
I have no children. I'm not married, nor am I in a relationship (I have noticed in the past that my period returns when I am IN a relationship.).
I am 5'7" and 135#, an avid runner, though I have planty of body fat, I think.
I do have some acne concerns, but any flares have seem to fizzle lately.
I quite like having no period; in fact I do not plan to have kids, but I feel a little less womanly for no having a period. I also worry it's an indication of uterus issues.
I've tried looking for questions from females with similar issues but all I can find are inquiries from woman betw 20 and 23.
I hope you can givie me more info rather than "see your Dr.", b/c now I am uninsured.
I trust your judgement and thank you.View Thread

I can't say it was one treatment in particular; I just noticed it fading (though not gone) with a combo of the following:
1. sunscreen, religiously
2. ipl's (4 sessions)
3. glycolic peels (2)
4. microdermabrasion monthly
4. red light therapy (one month, everyday, 20 min)View Thread

Then I am definitely open to see a doctor about your suggestion. Thank you so much; I couldn't even get my doctor to give me a reasonable rationale. Much appreciated!View Thread
One other concern to mention: I was on birth control Lo (for my acne prior to the real solution), and it lead to dark patches on my face (melasma). During the time of the BC ingestion (4 months) I spotted, but no major changes in my (lack of) period. The melasma has since faded but only after dermatological intervention. This said, I don't feel comfortable taking things that may cause hyperpigmentation as I am prone to this. From what I have read, Provera can cause melasma. So... any other thoughts?View Thread
