I havent had my period for 6 months

I've never had irregular periods, i havent been on any birth control for nearly a year and it was the depo. I was sexually active till 2 weeks ago and we stopped to take a test. Ive had every pregnancy test but an ultra sound. Ive had blood tests, hospital grade tests yet nothing. I have a healthy diet but i am iron deficient. My doctor cannot find some reason for this at all. I was told being even 5kgs over weight can stop estrogen and your menstrual cycle. please help?

If only being that much overweight did stop periods!  I don't believe that at all, because that's certainly not true in my case.  I do believe stress overload can do that, since you're recently off of Depo.  It can take quite a while for your body to readjust after having been on birth control like Depo for a long time.
