This sounds like amenorrhea:, which is the medical term for the absence of periods.
There are two types of amenorrhea: primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is when a young woman has not had her first period by the age of 16. Secondary amenorrhea is when a woman who has had normal menstrual cycles stops getting her monthly period for three or more months.
Secondary amenorrhea can be caused by some birth control methods, such as Depo-Provera, stress, poor nutrition, depression, extreme weight loss and over-exercising.
You need to be evaluated by your gynecologist to determine the exact cause for the absence of your periods.
