Ok here it is my best friend who i have known for 18 years at least ( since we were 2) has not had her period in 4 months but every time she takes a pregnancy test it comes up negative.. how can that be.. i mean she is a little on the heavy side and i am really concerned.. i try and try to make her go to the doctors but she refuses saying it costs to much and junk. i have been trying to get her to see at least a clinic or something, what do you think is wrong with her and how can i change her mind about the doctors???? HELP

Has this happened to her in the past? I naturally just don't have periods more than 2 or 3 times per year. I had to be put on hormone pills (didn't work) and now birth control pills just to have a period monthly. My doctor wrongly diagnosed me with polycystic ovary syndrome then found out that i don't have that, but she still can't tell me why I don't menstruate regularly on my own. I got my first period at age 11 and I am now 22 and not regular yet. =O

the same thing happened to my aunt she took pregnancy test after pregnancy test and they were negative but she went to the doctors and the did a blood test and it came out the she was 4 in half months pregnant now in some people the hormones dont show up in the urine and this has happened both times she was pregnant so if anything have her get a blood test to see if she is pregnant

Are you using the pill or some other form of birth control? I learn't about this in Bio. If you are even taking those needle things it can delay and even stop your period from happening!

she may have thyroiditis. its basically a lack of thyroid hormones. it makes your period become irregular. i have not had a period in over a year because i cannot get my hormones straight. your friend needs to see a doctor but it has been nice while its lasted
