is it kinda not normal to have not had a period since october/november?

i kinda want to phone docs about it but also very nervous about what they might say.

I can't be pregnant i know that for sure

i'm fussy i don't want male doctor either. And i have just phoned them up and its with a male doc so i cancelled

Ask for a woman doctor next time you call up. There can be a number of reasons why its stopped, medication, stress, underweight ect

So yes its better to go get it checked

huummm, i was wondering this too because i havent had a period since last october either, its starting to kinda worry me also.
i think your best bet is to persu the docters and specify a female docter to talk to.
hope you get your answers

Is it common for you to go long amounts of time without periods? If so, it can be a sign of polycystic ovaries... but it might just be that you're stressed or losing weight or something, there's probably a very normal explanation for it, but it is best to get it checked out.

I would be worried if i had skipped 1 let alone many months worth.You need to speak to your doctor as there may be some issues with hormones.

It is quite easy to request a female doctor, or what about a family planning clinic, often they are females there?

this happened to me a year or so ago , i saw my doctor (who was a man) and he asked if i could be pregnant which i wasnt, then he said it was prob stress but gave me a blood test to be safe and it came back normal.
best to talk to a doctor, itll be fine x

as said it could be a number of things!
when did u start your periods?
were they light or irregular.
you have a choice in which doctor you see so if you want a female just say you owuld be more comfortable with a female as it is a girly problem. xxx

I'd say it's nothing to worry about, but then every since i started my periods i've gone up to 8months without having them.
Obviously though if you're concerned about it then do speak to a doctor about it, next time you phone just ask if you can see a female doctor about it.
