Worried about not getting Periods03/17/2010 |
I am a 22 year old girl.I had intercourse with my boyfriend on 31st December 2009.On that day I was a bit frantic and made him wear two condoms.Even with that there was no ejaculation and he withdrew after a time.I got my periods on 5th January.We again had physical intimacy on 28th January but this time there was no contact between the penis and the vagina except that I had sucked once(once it tasted as if I had some fluid in my mouth which I spitted out).Except this there was no other contact.I got my periods again on 12th February and it lasted 5-6 days.Thereafter we have had no physical contact and still I have not got my periods in March,which is worrying me like anything.I do not have that much knowledge about safe sex but currently why I am not getting my periods is a huge concern. To mention,I am having Thyronorm tablets(75mg) daily and due to polycystic changes my doctor has advised me Evion 600(1 tablet daily).I usually get painful periods and there is a delay too in my dates since many years,but I am still bothered thinking something might have gone wrong.I shall be grateful if you advise.We have a very rigid society here and I am scared like anything.Although my boyfriend insists that nothing has happened,I would still request you to advise.Is there any medicine which I may have to start my periods?I am unmarried.Also could you tell me the ways of safer sex although I am sure I will not indulge in it before marriage as I am coping with so much tension now due to this.
Many women do not have clock-work-like menstrual periods. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including hyperplasia (where the lining of the uterus gets a little thicker then normal), uterine fibroids (benign tumors of the uterus that can cause irregular bleeding), uterine polyps (also a type of begin tumor-like structure), miscarriages, thyroid problems, excessive weight gain or weight loss, withdrawal of hormonal contraception, and uterine cancer. Additionally, the menstrual cycle can change a bit with increasing age, stress levels, and if you are around other females.You should talk with you doctor to see what may be causing your irregular bleeding and to develop a better understanding of your particular concerns.
