No period for a year?

Hi, I need some advice. I am unemployed and a college student so I can't afford to go to the "doctor" but need something done and I dont know what that might be.

I am 28 years old and have always had irregular periods but this one takes the cake. Nothing since May of 2011. Usually 3 months or so is the norm. I had been taking the HCG drops from walmart and am seemingly sad since then.. guess its a side affect. I have stopped taking them and all these issues are still the same. I am over weight which I know contributes to all of this. I have taken multiple pregnancy test, the past THREE have been invalid..ugh! Now, I am also super sensitive to odors -yuck. I smell everything and it turns my stomach.

Lately, I will just all of a sudden get a massive tingling affect in my face first like pins and needles. Sometimes a faint feeling. The past couple weeks, my feet have been swelling. Usually just the right one swells and not both? Now, more recently, both have started swelling and with pain between my pinky toe and ankle bone. I know the best solution is a Dr visit but it just isnt in the works right now.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you much, God bless!

Thanks ladies, I was checked in 2008 for PSOC and everything else because I had a period that lasted 43 days. Since that time I was perfect and on track every single month, til last May. It is so irritating wanting to know whats wrong and can't not to mention the fact of wanting to get pregnant and can't. These swollen feet suck though! Now on top of it my left kidney is hurting like heck too! Guess I'm just gonna have to give in and go to the ER so I dont have to pay cash right now.

you can also try vitex and **** quai if you want to go the natural route with trying to get your periods back on track, also this site is good and has infor on pcos and ways to help treat it naturally www.natural-fertility-info.com, with the other things, you do need to see a doctor to rule out anything serious

You really need to go see a doctor. These symptoms are not good at all! The no period and overweight sounds like PCOS. I have this but you can fin out more info at: http://pcos.insulitelabs.com/Metformin-and-PCOS.php

I know it is expensive so try getting some help because you really need to go to he doctor. If you have pcos your period can be regulated by birth control if you don't want to get pregnant or metformin to get pregnant. Metformin is cheap at walmart $5 and you can get birth co told at your local health department for free.
