missed period for 5 months
Im 18 4'9 and 82 lbs! I was told that me missing a period was because of my size! So I got on birth control and it fixed my period, but I was only on it for 3 months (doctor perscribed) and after the 3 months I got my period 2 months after! and now I havent gotten one for another 2 months! what is going on!?

If you continue not to get your periods, then you should see your doctor for a hormonal workup. They should see if you hypthalamic-pituitary hormones are normal like FSH, LH, Prolactin, TSH. Because of your height, they may suggest checking your chromosomes too especially if you never had a period on your own--only when given the birth control pill.
no! Im not pregnant! I had blood taken and everything so I think it could be just because of my size! the doctor said it could be the reason also, but i dont want her to give me pills to make me gain weight or anything because I think thats what she is trying to do. yikes!
hey im about the same size as you but i weigh 92 pounds...my periods come irregularly too but after i got pregnant and was on birth control, it helped and now im on my period as directed in the pills...i never asked the doctor about my irregular periods but it might be the same as yours (because of my little size)...i dont know why ur not on ur period as regular as the pills...ur not pregnant are u?
