TWO years without period - can someone help?
This is something I've ignored for the past two years now, but I feel like it's time to come clean and hopefully get responses, input, advice and answers to my health question.
I'm almost 28 years old, and I haven't had a period in a little over two years now. Not even any spotting. When I was younger, I had irregular periods but also had health insurance. I saw an OBGYN about this, and they put me on birth control to "jumpstart" the periods back up. My irregularity was never this bad though -or- for this long. I think the longest I ever went without a period was several months -- but nothing over a year -- so right now, I'm a little bit on the worried side, as you can probably tell.
When I was 18 years old, I was taken to the ER for having severe abdominal pain and they found that I had a lot of ovarian cysts. This went away fast though, and I don't really have any pain going on anymore except for every now and then. Nothing severe though, and is always curable with a few motrin here and there. Here is my thing though, and I hope I don't get any judgement from this -- I'm only being completely honest with everyone here on the forums.
I'm a recovering addict to pain killers. I'm 70 days sober from Percocet today, as this was a daily usage thing for me for about two years, off and on, basically. Does anyone think that this might have something to do with the fact that I haven't had any periods over the past two years now? When I told my doctor that I'd become addicted to the Percocet he wrote for me, he shut the door on me without assisting me even though I thought I was being honest with him. Honesty is the best policy, right? I got sober.....on my own! Now that I've gotten over my addiction and haven't taken any pills since, I am trying to get my life back together where it needs to be.
Thank you in advance for helping me with this.

You really need to be seen by a GYN. I dont really think this is caused by the pills. sara
