PLEASE HELP!

Well I was going to ask this question in a different forum but there was a $20 fee. Anyways, im a 20 year old female. I have not had my period in 4 months, probably longer. I can't afford to go to the doctor well because im poor, and my Medicaid got cut off. Im very worried about this. But all the pregnancy tests I take are negative. I take opiates everyday and some days I go 2-3 days without eating. Sometimes 4. I have always had back pain on the lower right side of my back where my kidneys are.  My periods are irregular, but never this long. Some times I have a sharp pain right below my stomach. I don't think I've been ovulating because I haven't had that "white gooey stuff " in a long time. What do I do? Am I pregnant? I buy the 1$ tests at the dollar store, if that matters...

There are several things that could cause this; pregnancy, weight changes, stress,pcos, even medications. From the sounds of it you are going through a lot of stress right now so I am going to put my vote on that one. If you still do not get one in the next month, for your health I recommend you go to a doctor even if it is pricy so you can figure out just what is wrong. If it does wind up being something like pcos you will want treatment for it as it can be dangerous to your health. My cousin recently found out she had pcos because her original doctor overlooked it, she found out long after the condition started and because of this has had a lot of issues health wise. So if you do go to a doctor, be sure to ask about it if they do not mention it themselves.

I live in Greensboro NC and ou can make a appointment at the health department for a doctor to check ad give you a pregnancy test for free! That's what I did when I found out I was pregnant there is also one in highpoint in not sure where else

Thanks for the replies. No, I have never took birth control except for only one month before. I didn't like the side effects. I guess y'all are right. ..about my lifestyle. Idk, im still worried tho. I dont feel like that's really the problem tho for some reason. I feel like I have something seriously wrong with me. Ill look up some free clinics on Google if they're are any around here, I highly doubt it. I live in NC.

I agree, you have an extremely unhealthy lifestyle which is likely causing you to not ovulate. It's your body's way of protecting itself. You need to get your habits under control, such as eating and getting help for your drug use. You're destroying your body and will make your life much harder as you get older - you're young, dont throw that away.

if you havent had your period, then generally speaking you wont have ovulated, not ovulating causes missed periods, and its probably a combination of your life style and the fact your not eating properly which is causing you not to ovulate

Everyones is different. Were u taking some birth control that could affect it? I used to be a heavy drug user but never took bc so I've always had a regular period. And I used a doller general pregnancy test to tell I was pregnant. Go to a pregnancy center near you. Look it up on google their free wihlth or without insurance :)

I don't think you're pregnant, but i wouldn't be surprised if your missing your period because of you're lifestyle. Not eating right, and drugs could be affecting your body and causing your cycle to be off.

I'm not sure whats going but it could be something serious. Idk where you live but some places have county insurance and it's free it's just like Medicare but you can only go to the doctors that they say you can go too. Or even if you go to the er they will still see you even if you don't have insurance. But good luck I hope you find out what's wrong with you.
