I have not had my period in 2 1/2 years. I have talked to my doctor and he said that it was a psycholgical problem. The thing is, I don't know how to get my period back! What are the consequences of not having your period? Has anyone else been in my situation? What side affects may arise from a lack of period? Hair loss? Weight gain? Please let me know.

PS I'm 18, so not menopause age.

I am suffering from hair loss, weight gain, depression, and low sexual drive. I quit using estrogen about 2 years ago. My doctor recommended I start using vegetable hormones, but looking on the internet there are so many diferent kinds, Anyone know which is best?

I'm wondering if I might be going through menopause…I'm only 31 but for the last seven months I have been having major physical issues. My mom and my grandmother didn't go through menopause until their 60's and none of my sisters have experienced any of these symptoms but I'm not sure what else it could be. My symptoms are these: hair loss, weight loss/gain (it constantly fluctuates), haven't had my period in seven months, facial hair growth (a lot of it!!), hot flashes and constant acne.

I talked to a doctor about this four months ago and he told me it was stress. But I'm not stressed, I have nothing (except this) to worry me! I'm really starting to get concerned especially because my husband and I want to start a family. Can anyone help??
