Question: I haven’t had my period in 2 months; Am I Pregnant?<\/em><\/p>\n After days, weeks and months, you now realize there is a medical problem that stops your period from coming.<\/p>\n While this might be true for some girls, there are other natural reasons why your\u00a0period<\/a> may be absent for 2, 3 or 4 months.<\/p>\n Depending on your age, hormones may not be\u00a0secreted the usual way.<\/p>\n The human body secretes many hormones which can be affected by your lifestyle – sleeping patterns, excessive exercise, overeating, not eating as required, and stress.<\/p>\n Sometimes, traveling a long distance or losing weight very fast may cause hormone irregularity.<\/p>\n Having said that, the commonest reason your period will disappear for months is pregnancy. Women, who are in their reproductive ages and having regular sex, may get pregnant without even knowing.<\/p>\n Other possible reasons<\/strong> are medications you’re on – emergency pills after sex or combined contraceptive pills, complications of abortion,\u00a0or a procedure – hysterectomy, where the uterus is surgically removed.<\/p>\n This article explains the most likely reasons your period haven’t shown up in months, what to do and when to worry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pregnancy is the commonest reason<\/a> why period may disappear for months. This is because, during pregnancy, regular\u00a0menstruation stops.<\/p>\n Before pregnancy, most women’s period will\u00a0come every 28 days. It could be longer or shorter. However, should your period stop coming after unprotected sex with your boyfriend, it’s likely you’re already pregnant.<\/p>\n Sometimes, you may not notice any pregnancy signs. A patient and now a close friend never realized she was pregnant till after four months. In fact, she visited the hospital because she had a low appetite and abdominal cramps.<\/p>\n Here are some symptoms that you may have ignored or gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n If pregnant, you must not panic. Most women who miss pregnancy signs may not have planned for a baby. Now you should\u00a0talk to your doctor especially if you have the above symptoms.<\/p>\n In most cases, you may have tested negative for pregnancy some weeks ago. This is possible if you tested very early. At 2 – 3 months into a pregnancy, it very easy to confirm by testing.<\/p>\n I recommend the First Response pregnancy kit for women because it is remarkably sensitive and reliable. Should you test negative, then it likely due to<\/p>\n Preventing pregnancy may sometimes come with its side effects. Birth control pills\u00a0are common both in the United Kingdom and the United States. A lot of women uses them for several reasons.<\/p>\n Sometimes, depending on whichever pills you’re on, menstruation may cease from coming.<\/p>\n Traditionally, most pills require you take then for 21 days and a free 7 days where you are on placebo or no pill at all. This type of pills will not stop your period from coming for months.<\/p>\n However, the new kinds of birth control pills or inserts may end period for a long time. Seasonale contraceptives<\/strong> are well-known<\/a> around the world and can stop menstruation for about 84 days (4 months).<\/p>\n Before taking any medication, it’s important to know how they could affect your health. Talk to your doctor and ask many other questions as required.<\/p>\n On the other hand, not being compliant with your pills will not prevent pregnancy. These pills demand you take them every day and at the same time. If you’ve not been compliant, chances are, you may be pregnant.<\/p>\n Perimenopause simply means<\/a> years before a woman’s period will stop (menopause<\/em>). During the time, your body begins to prepare for menopause.<\/p>\n If you are already more that 35 – 40 years and haven’t had period for 2 months, it may be due to natural changes that occur as you grow older.<\/p>\n During your reproductive years, your ovaries produce follicles that rupture to release an egg during ovulation. As you get towards menopause, the number of follicles reduces.<\/p>\n These follicle helps to produce estrogen and progesterone which are usually involved in regulation of menstruation.<\/p>\n Due to a reduction in these hormones, ovulation process is delayed resulting in absent period for months.<\/p>\n Other symptoms you may experience years before menopause are<\/p>\n However, should your period not come for 12 consecutive months, it’s likely due to menopause. The average age for menopause is 51 years, though it could occur early.<\/p>\n Just like perimenopause, where follicles get depleted naturally as you grow older, premature ovarian follicle occurs very early in life<\/a>.<\/p>\n Symptoms are similar and include<\/p>\n If you are in your 30’s and yet to get period for 2 or 3 months, it’s important to schedule a meeting with your doctor.<\/p>\n<\/span>I haven’t had my period in 2 months; Here’s why<\/span><\/h2>\n
