Haven't had my period in five months?
I'm 16, nearly 17 years old. My first cycle was when I was eleven, and it was regular by the time I was 12 and a half or so.
Possibly Important Details: I attend a very rigorous school, so I don't always have a balanced lunch (or lunch at all), but I always have two meals a day at least and I get 5+ hours of sleep a night (not ideal, but regular at least). My campus is very large and I walk at least two miles every weekday between classes, but I don't really use my sparse free time for any more exercise. I'm not overly fond of junk food. My weight hasn't changed past the normal in the last six to eight months, but I don't know if it matters that I'm naturally very small (4'11 and 100lbs even). I am on medication- Wellbutrin SR 150 once daily.
Could there be a serious health problem? Do I need to see a professional? My last general appointment was several months ago. My father is aware of the problem, but I believe it makes him rather uncomfortable and we haven't discussed it since I informed him. I'd rather not bring it up again if I don't really have to. It makes dinners awkward when he remembers I'm a girl.

One more thing, ask your dad about the household health insurance before makig a visit, because you'll need that for sure.

Ahaa, yeah, thanks. That's the one thing I'm certainly not worried about!
I understand the strange father-to-daughter talk. My mom is no longer present, so I usually google it, then go talk to a doctor at women's health clinic after making an appointment.Make sure you check the review of any clinics before visitig though!
There might be an underlying problem you need to maybe discuss with your healthcare professional. But there are some rare cases of girls only having heavy period once in 2-4 months. Or maybe it could be that your body doesn't react well with that certain medication. You'll never know until you talk it over with your doctor. Try talking to doctors, see if they can answer your questions.
