No sex. No period? Vegetarian?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I'm a bit worried. I've had protected sex before but I have had my period after that and that was several months back. I have not had sex since then. I know I'm not pregnant but I missed my period. Keep in mind I'm 16. I am a vegetarian and I may have low iron could that be the reason why I skipped it? Or could it just be late. I was supposed to have it last week.

first im also a vegitarian and thats dope af that you are to watever the reason but i recomend taking multi vitamins and either you're not eating enough food, or before you went vegitarian you ate a whole lot of meat and that will make you bleed excessively because of the naturally-occurring hormones as well as artificial hormones. Meat and dairy are highly estrogenic to people. So suddenly stopping eating them and eating healthy foods can have an affect like this. It should settle back down once your hormones are balanced.

Don't worry unless it's more than one skipped. I too am a vegetarian and that would not be the cause. If this continues you might want to visit the doctor. Don't be quick to be alarmed though. This just tends to happen about your age.

It just late.. Period can be late or fast. However, if it late like a month and with strange colour or smell. You should visit doctor.

I was a vegetarian from birth to age 16. This never affected my periods. Are you underweight? That could cause this. Take a trip to your doctor asap.
