Missed periods

Besides pregnancy, what can cause 3 missed periods? I've been dealing with fatigue, weight gain, some mild swelling in my feet and hands and I have missed now, 3 periods. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests and they all came up negative. Made a doc. appt for next week but until then, I just thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm on the same boat as you! I've missed 3 periods and have felt nauseous, tired, bloated, gained weight, etc. My doctor tested me for anemia, thyroid problems, and pregnancy and all tests were negative.

Stress is the first thing that comes to mind but it could be a hormonal imbalance, ovarian cysts, age and other medical reasons... definitely need a gyno's advice on this one!

GOOD LUCK!
